: 2John   1

 : 1 .  The elder <4245 - presbuteros - > unto the elect <1588 - eklektos - > lady <2959 - Kuria - > and her children <5043 - teknon - > ,  whom <3739 - hos - > I love <0025 - agapao - > in the truth <0225 - aletheia - > ;  and not I only <3441 - monos - > ,  but also <2532 - kai - > all <3956 - pas - > they that have known <1097 - ginosko - > the truth <0225 - aletheia - > ;

 : 2  For the truth s <0225 - aletheia - > sake ,  which <3588 - ho - > dwelleth <3306 - meno - > in us ,  and shall be with us for ever <0165 - aion - > .

 : 3  Grace <5485 - charis - > be with you ,  mercy <1656 - eleos - > ,   [ and ]  peace <1515 - eirene - > ,  from God <2316 - theos - > the Father <3962 - pater - > ,  and from the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > ,  the Son <5207 - huios - > of the Father <3962 - pater - > ,  in truth <0225 - aletheia - > and love <0026 - agape - > .

 : 4  I rejoiced <5463 - chairo - > greatly <3029 - lian - > that I found <2147 - heurisko - > of thy children <5043 - teknon - > walking <4043 - peripateo - > in truth <0225 - aletheia - > ,  as we have received <2983 - lambano - > a commandment <1785 - entole - > from the Father <3962 - pater - > .

 : 5 .  And now <3568 - nun - > I beseech <2065 - erotao - > thee ,  lady <2959 - Kuria - > ,  not as though I wrote <1125 - grapho - > a new <2537 - kainos - > commandment <1785 - entole - > unto thee ,  but that which <3739 - hos - > we had <2192 - echo - > from the beginning <0746 - arche - > ,  that we love <0025 - agapao - > one <0240 - allelon - > another <0240 - allelon - > .

 : 6  And this <3778 - houtos - > is love <0026 - agape - > ,  that we walk <4043 - peripateo - > after <2596 - kata - > his commandments <1785 - entole - > .  This <3778 - houtos - > is the commandment <1785 - entole - > ,  That ,  as ye have heard <0191 - akouo - > from the beginning <0746 - arche - > ,  ye should walk <4043 - peripateo - > in it .

 : 7 .  For many <4183 - polus - > deceivers <4108 - planos - > are entered <1525 - eiserchomai - > into <1519 - eis - > the world <2889 - kosmos - > ,  who <3588 - ho - > confess <3670 - homologeo - > not that Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > is come <2064 - erchomai - > in the flesh <4561 - sarx - > .  This <3778 - houtos - > is a deceiver <4108 - planos - > and an antichrist <0500 - antichristos - > .

 : 8  Look <0991 - blepo - > to yourselves <1438 - heautou - > ,  that we lose <0622 - apollumi - > not those things which <3739 - hos - > we have wrought <2038 - ergazomai - > ,  but that we receive <0618 - apolambano - > a full <4134 - pleres - > reward <3408 - misthos - > .

 : 9  Whosoever <3588 - ho - > transgresseth <3845 - parabaino - > ,  and abideth <3306 - meno - > not in the doctrine <1322 - didache - > of Christ <5547 - Christos - > ,  hath <2192 - echo - > not God <2316 - theos - > .  He that abideth <3306 - meno - > in the doctrine <1322 - didache - > of Christ <5547 - Christos - > ,  he hath <2192 - echo - > both <2532 - kai - > the Father <3962 - pater - > and the Son <5207 - huios - > .

 : 10 .  If <1487 - ei - > there come <2064 - erchomai - > any <1536 - ei tis - > unto you ,  and bring <5342 - phero - > not this <5026 - taute - > doctrine <1322 - didache - > ,  receive <2983 - lambano - > him not into <1519 - eis - >  [ your ]  house <3614 - oikia - > ,  neither <3366 - mede - > bid <3004 - lego - > him God speed <5463 - chairo - > :

 : 11  For he that biddeth <3004 - lego - > him God speed <5463 - chairo - > is partaker <2841 - koinoneo - > of his evil <4190 - poneros - > deeds <2041 - ergon - > .

 : 12 .  Having <2192 - echo - > many <4183 - polus - > things to write <1125 - grapho - > unto you ,  I would <1014 - boo - lom - ahee - > not  [ write ]  with paper <5489 - chartes - > and ink <3188 - melan - > :  but I trust <1679 - elpizo - > to come <2064 - erchomai - > unto you ,  and speak <2980 - laleo - > face <4750 - stoma - > to face <4750 - stoma - > ,  that our joy <5479 - chara - > may be full <4137 - pleroo - > .

 : 13  The children <5043 - teknon - > of thy elect <1588 - eklektos - > sister <0079 - adelphe - > greet <0782 - aspazomai - > thee .  Amen <0281 - amen - > .
