| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:1 | The Elder to the elect lady and her children. Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth, | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:2 | for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:3 | Grace, mercy and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:4 | It is an intense joy to me to have found some of your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command which we have received from the Father. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:5 | And now, dear lady, I pray you writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one which we have had from the very beginning let us love one another. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:6 | The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:7 | For many deceivers have gone out into the world men who do not acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a one is `the deceiver' and `the anti-Christ.' | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:8 | Keep guard over yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but may receive back a full reward. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:9 | No one has God, who instead of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:10 | If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:11 | He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:12 | I have a great deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness may be complete. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd John 1:13 | The children of your elect sister send greetings to you. | |||||||||||||||
