THE SECOND EPISTLE OF
JOHN
12 John1 1:1
The
elder
unto
the
elect
lady
and
her
children,
whom
I
love
in
truth;
and
not
I
only,
but
also
all
they
that
know
the
truth;
2 1:2
for
the
truth’s
sake
which
abideth
in
us,
and
it
shall
be
with
us
for
ever:
3 1:3
Grace,
mercy,
peace
shall
be
with
us,
from
God
the
Father,
and
from
Jesus
Christ,
the
Son
of
the
Father,
in
truth
and
love.
4 1:4
I
rejoice
greatly
that
I
have
found
certain
of
thy
children
walking
in
truth,
even
as
we
received
commandment
from
the
Father.
5 1:5
And
now
I
beseech
thee,
lady,
not
as
though
I
wrote
to
thee
a
new
commandment,
but
that
which
we
had
from
the
beginning,
that
we
love
one
another.
6 1:6
And
this
is
love,
that
we
should
walk
after
his
commandments.
This
is
the
commandment,
even
as
ye
heard
from
the
beginning,
that
ye
should
walk
in
it.
7 1:7
For
many
deceivers
are
gone
forth
into
the
world,
even
they
that
confess
not
that
Jesus
Christ
cometh
in
the
flesh.
This
is
the
deceiver
and
the antichrist.
8 1:8
Look
to
yourselves,
that
ye
lose
not
the
things
which
we
have
wrought,
but
that
ye
receive
a
full
reward.
9 1:9
Whosoever
goeth
onward
and
abideth
not
in
the
teaching
of
Christ,
hath
not
God:
he
that
abideth
in
the
teaching,
the
same
hath
both
the
Father
and
the
Son.
10 1:10
If
any
one
cometh
unto
you,
and
bringeth
not
this
teaching,
receive
him
not
into
your
house,
and
give
him
no
greeting:
11 1:11
for
he
that
giveth
him
greeting partaketh
in
his
evil
works.
12 1:12
Having
many
things
to
write
unto
you,
I
would
not
write
them
with
paper
and
ink:
but
I
hope
to
come
unto
you,
and
to
speak
face
to
face,
that
your
joy
may
be
made
full.
13 1:13
The
children
of
thine
elect
sister
salute
thee.
