1st John 5

The Second Epistle of John

Return to Index

Chapter 1

1

The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom *I* love in truth, and not *I* only but also all who have known the truth,

2

for the truth`s sake which abides in us and shall be with us to eternity.

3

Grace shall be with you, mercy, peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4

I rejoiced greatly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.

5

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we should love one another.

6

And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, according as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye might walk in it.

7

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh -- this is the deceiver and the antichrist.

8

See to yourselves, that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive full wages.

9

Whosoever goes forward and abides not in the doctrine of the Christ has not God. He that abides in the doctrine, *he* has both the Father and the Son.

10

If any one come to you and bring not this doctrine, do not receive him into the house, and greet him not;

11

for he who greets him partakes in his wicked works.

12

Having many things to write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.

13

The children of thine elect sister greet thee.

3rd John 1
