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: 2 For the truthes sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe in vs for euer: 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. 4 I reioyced greatly, that I founde of thy chyldren walkyng in trueth, as we haue receaued a commaundement of the father. 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. 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. 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. 8 Loke on your selues, that we loose not that we haue wrought: but that we may haue a full rewarde. 2 John 1:1-8, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
