1 The elder to the elect Lady & her chyldren, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I only, but also all that haue knowen ye trueth: The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who know the truth, The elder, To the lady chosen by God and to her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I only, but also all who know the truth—
2 For the truthes sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe in vs for euer: because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
3 Grace be with you, mercie, and peace from God the father, & from the Lorde Iesus Christe the sonne of the father, in trueth and loue. Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love. Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.
4 I reioyced greatly, that I founde of thy chyldren walkyng in trueth, as we haue receaued a commaundement of the father. I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
5 And nowe beseche I thee Lady, not as though I wrote a newe commaundement vnto thee: but that same which we haue had from the begynnyng, that we shoulde loue one another. And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another.
6 And this is the loue, that we shoulde walke after his comaundement. This commaundement is, that as ye haue hearde from the begynnyng, ye shoulde walke in it. And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
7 For many deceauers are entred into the worlde, which confesse not that Iesus Christe is come in the fleshe. This is a deceauer and an antichriste. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Loke on your selues, that we loose not that we haue wrought: but that we may haue a full rewarde. Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.
9 Whosoeuer transgresseth, and bideth not in the doctrine of Christe, hath not God: He that endureth in the doctrine of Christe, hath both the father and the sonne. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any vnto you, and bring not this learnyng, hym receaue not to house: neither byd hym God speede. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.
11 For he that byddeth hym God speede, is partaker of his euyll deedes. for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.
12 I had many thynges to write vnto you: neuerthelesse, I woulde not write with paper & inke, but I trust to come vnto you, and speake with you mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full. Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete. I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13 The sonnes of thy elect sister greete thee. Amen. The children of your elect sister greet you. The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send their greetings.
