2 John 1:1-8 ▼

1 The Presbyter to the chosen Lady and to her children whom I love in truth—and not only I but also all who know the truth—

2 because of the truth that dwells 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 Father’s Son in truth and love.

4 I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth just as we were commanded by the Father.

5 But now, Lady, I ask you, not as though I were writing a new commandment but the one we have had from the beginning: let us love one another.

6 For this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning, in which you should walk.

7 Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh; such is the deceitful one and the antichrist.

8 Look to yourselves that you do not lose what we worked for but may receive a full recompense.
