2 John 1:1-8 ▼

1 The elder to the chosen lady, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those having known the truth,

2 because of the truth that is remaining in us, and will be with us throughout the age,

3 there will be with you grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of your children walking in truth, even as we received a command from the Father;

5 and now I implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,

6 and this is love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as you heard from the beginning, that you may walk in it,

7 because many deceivers entered into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.

8 See to yourselves that you may not lose the things that we worked for, but may receive a full reward;
