| 2nd-John 1:1 | The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; | I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true; | 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 truth's sake which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. | Because of this true knowledge which is in us, and will be with us for ever: | for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and will be with us for ever. |
| 2nd-John 1:3 | Grace be with you, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. | May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love. | 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 | I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. | It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father. | 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 I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. | And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another. | 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 | And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. | And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it. | 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 entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist. | Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist. | 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 | Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. | Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward. | 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 | Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. | Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son. | 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 cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither wish him happiness: | If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love: | 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 | For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds. | For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works. | He who bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds. |
| 2nd-John 1:12 | Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. | Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full. | 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 thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. | The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love. | The children of your elect sister send greetings to you. |
