{\MT John’s Second Letter

\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}The
elder,
to
the
chosen
lady
and
her
children,
whom
I
love
in
truth,
and
not
I
only,
but
also
all
those
who
know
the
truth,
\VS{2}for
the truth’s
sake,
which
remains
in
us,
and
it
will
be
with
us
forever:
\VS{3}Grace,
mercy,
and
peace
will
be
with
us,
from
God
the
Father
and
from
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:3 }
“Christ” means “Anointed One”.}
the
Son
of
the
Father,
in
truth
and
love.
\par }{\PP \VS{4}I
rejoice
greatly
that
I
have
found
some
of
your
children
walking
in
truth,
even
as
we
have been
commanded
by
the
Father.
\VS{5}Now
I
beg
you, dear
lady,
not
as
though
I
wrote
to
you
a
new
commandment,
but
that
which
we
had
from
the
beginning,
that
we
love
one
another.
\VS{6}This
is
love,
that
we
should
walk
according
to
his
commandments.
This
is
the
commandment,
even
as
you
heard
from
the
beginning,
that
you
should
walk
in
it.
\par }{\PP \VS{7}For
many
deceivers
have
gone
out
into
the
world,
those
who
don’t
confess
that
Jesus
Christ
came
in
the
flesh.
This
is
the
deceiver
and
the
Antichrist.
\VS{8}Watch
yourselves,
that
we
don’t
lose
the
things
which
we
have accomplished,
but
that
we
receive
a
full
reward.
\VS{9}Whoever transgresses
and
doesn’t
remain
in
the
teaching
of
Christ
doesn’t
have
God.
He
who
remains
in
the
teaching
has
both
the
Father
and
the
Son.
\VS{10}If
anyone
comes
to
you
and
doesn’t
bring
this
teaching,
don’t
receive
him
into
your
house,
and
don’t welcome
him,
\VS{11}for
he
who welcomes
him
participates
in
his
evil
deeds.
\par }{\PP \VS{12}Having
many
things
to
write
to
you,
I
don’t
want
to
do
so
with
paper
and
ink,
but
I
hope
to
come
to
you
and
to
speak
face
to
face,
that
our
joy
may
be
made
full.
\VS{13}The
children
of
your
chosen
sister
greet
you. Amen.
