1 The elder to the chosen mistress in truth; (and not I only, but also all and to her children, whom I love they having known the truth;) 2 For the truth remaining in us, and shall be with us forever. 3 There shall be with you grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth, and love. 4 I was greatly rejoiced that I found of thy children walking about in the truth, as we received a command from the Father. 5 And now I entreat thee, mistress, not as writing a new command, but what we had from the beginning, that we should love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk about according to his commands. This is the command, That as ye heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7 For many cheats come into the world, they not acknowledging Jesus Christ coming in the flesh. This is the cheat and antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, lest we should destroy what things we have wrought, but we should receive a full reward. 2 John 1:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
