1 From: The Elder To: The chosen lady and her children, whom I genuinely love, and not only I but also all who know the truth, 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 that is present in us and will be with us forever. 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, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus the Messiah, the Father's Son, in truth and love. 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 was overjoyed to find some of your children living truthfully, just as the Father has commanded us. 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 Dear lady, I am now requesting of you that we all continue to love one another. It is not as though I am writing to give you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning. 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 what demonstrates love: that we live according to God's commandments. Just as you have heard from the beginning what he commanded, you must live by 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 deceivers have gone out into the world. They refuse to acknowledge Jesus the Messiah as having become human. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist. 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 See to it that you don't destroy what we have worked for, but that you receive your full reward. 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 Everyone who does not remain true to the teaching of the Messiah, but goes beyond it, does not have God. The person who remains true to the teaching of the Messiah has both the Father and the Son. 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 anyone comes to you but does not present his teachings, do not receive him into your house or even welcome him, 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 because the one who welcomes him shares in his evil deeds. for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.
12 Although I have a great deal to write to you, I would prefer not to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete. 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 children of your chosen sister greet you. Greetings from John The children of your elect sister greet you. The children of your sister, who is chosen by God, send their greetings.
