1The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who know the truth,[#3 John 1; 1 Pet. 5:1; #1 John 3:18; 3 John 1; #John 8:32; 1 Tim. 2:4; Heb. 10:26; #John 1:17; 14:6; Gal. 2:5]
2because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:[#1 Cor. 13:6]
3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.[#1 Tim. 1:2; 2 Tim. 1:2; Jude 2]
4I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father.[#3 John 3, 4]
5And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.[#1 John 2:7; #1 John 3:11]
6And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.[#1 John 5:3; 1 John 2:5; #1 John 2:24]
7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.[#1 John 2:18, 26; #1 John 4:1; #1 John 2:22; 4:2, 3]
8Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.[#Gal. 3:4; Heb. 10:35; #8 Some manuscripts; #1 Cor. 3:8]
9Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.[#1 John 2:23; #1 John 2:23]
10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,[#Rom. 16:17; Gal. 1:8, 9; 2 Thess. 3:6, 14; Titus 3:10]
11for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.[#1 Tim. 5:22]
12Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.[#3 John 13; #3 John 14; #John 15:11; 17:13]
13The children of your elect sister greet you.
