2 John 1:1-8 ▼

1

2 because of the truth that remains in us and will be with us forever.

3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, in keeping with a command we have received from the Father.

5 So now I ask you, dear lady—not as if I were writing you a new command, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.

6 This is love: that we walk according to his commands. This is the command as you have heard it from the beginning: that you walk in love.

7 Many deceivers have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

8 Watch yourselves so that you don’t lose what we have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward.
