{\MT The Second Epistle of John

\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}The
elder
to [the]
elect
lady
and
her
children,
whom
{\BD{
I}}
love
in
truth,
and
not
{\BD{
I}}
only
but
also
all
who
have
known
the
truth,
\VS{2}for
the truth's
sake
which
abides
in
us
and
shall
be
with
us
to
eternity.
\VS{3}Grace
shall
be
with
you,
mercy,
peace
from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:3 }
Elohim}God [the]
Father,
and
from [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
the
Son
of
the
Father,
in
truth
and
love.
\VS{4}I
rejoiced
greatly
that
I
have
found
of thy
children
walking
in
truth,
as
we
have
received
commandment
from
the
Father.
\VS{5}And
now
I beseech thee,
lady,
not
as
writing
to thee
a
new
commandment,
but
that
which
we
have
had
from [the]
beginning,
that
we
should
love
one
another.
\VS{6}And
this
is
love,
that
we
should
walk
according
to
his
commandments.
This
is
the
commandment,
according
as ye
have
heard
from
the
beginning,
that ye
might
walk
in
it.
\VS{7}For
many
deceivers
have
gone
out
into
the
world,
they
who
do
not
confess
Jesus
Christ
coming
in
flesh —
this
is
the
deceiver
and
the
antichrist.
\VS{8}See
to
yourselves,
that
we
may
not
lose
what
we
have wrought,
but
may
receive
full
wages.
\VS{9}Whosoever
goes
forward
and
abides
not
in
the doctrine
of
the
Christ
has
not
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:9 }
Elohim}God.
He
that
abides
in
the doctrine,
{\BD{
he}}
has
both
the
Father
and
the
Son.
\VS{10}If
any
one
come
to
you
and
bring
not
this doctrine,
do
not
receive
him
into [the]
house,
and greet
him
not;
\VS{11}for
he
who greets
him partakes
in
his
wicked
works.
\VS{12}Having
many
things
to
write
to
you,
I
would
not
with
paper
and
ink;
but
hope
to
come
to
you,
and
to
speak
mouth
to
mouth,
that
our
joy
may
be
full.
\VS{13}The
children
of thine
elect
sister
greet thee.
