{\MTB THE SECOND EPISTLE OF
\par }{\MT JOHN

\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{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;
\VS{2}for
the
truth’s
sake
which
abideth
in
us,
and
it
shall
be
with
us
for
ever:
\VS{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.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{4}I
rejoice
greatly
that
I
have
found
{\ADD{
certain}}
of
thy
children
walking
in
truth,
even
as
we
received
commandment
from
the
Father.
\VS{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.
\VS{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.
\VS{7}For
many
deceivers
are
gone
forth
into
the
world,
{\ADD{
even}}
they
that
confess
not
that
Jesus
Christ
cometh
in
the
flesh.
This
is
the
deceiver
and
the antichrist.
\VS{8}Look
to
yourselves,
that
ye
lose
not
the
things
which
we
have
wrought,
but
that
ye
receive
a
full
reward.
\VS{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.
\VS{10}If
any
one
cometh
unto
you,
and
bringeth
not
this
teaching,
receive
him
not
into
{\ADD{
your}}
house,
and
give
him
no
greeting:
\VS{11}for
he
that
giveth
him
greeting partaketh
in
his
evil
works.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{12}Having
many
things
to
write
unto
you,
I
would
not
{\ADD{
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.
\VS{13}The
children
of
thine
elect
sister
salute
thee.
