- 1The elder unto 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;Ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἐκλεκτῇ καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῆς οὓς ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ μόνος ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐγνωκότες τὴν ἀλήθειαν
- 2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.διὰ τὴν ἀλήθειαν τὴν μένουσαν ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ μεθ’ ἡμῶν ἔσται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
- 3Grace 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.ἔσται μεθ’ ἡμῶν χάρις ἔλεος εἰρήνη παρὰ θεοῦ πατρός καὶ ⸀παρὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ πατρός ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἀγάπῃ
- 4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.Ἐχάρην λίαν ὅτι εὕρηκα ἐκ τῶν τέκνων σου περιπατοῦντας ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καθὼς ἐντολὴν ἐλάβομεν παρὰ τοῦ πατρός
- 5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.καὶ νῦν ἐρωτῶ σε οὐχ ὡς ἐντολὴν ⸂καινὴν γράφων σοι⸃ ἀλλὰ ἣν εἴχομεν ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἵνα ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλλήλους
- 6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἀγάπη ἵνα περιπατῶμεν κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ αὕτη ⸂ἡ ἐντολή ἐστιν⸃ καθὼς ἠκούσατε ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἵνα ἐν αὐτῇ περιπατῆτε
- 7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.ὅτι πολλοὶ πλάνοι ⸀ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὸν κόσμον οἱ μὴ ὁμολογοῦντες Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐρχόμενον ἐν σαρκί οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ πλάνος καὶ ὁ ἀντίχριστος
- 8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.βλέπετε ἑαυτούς ἵνα μὴ ⸀ἀπολέσητε ἃ ⸀εἰργασάμεθα ἀλλὰ μισθὸν πλήρη ⸀ἀπολάβητε
- 9Whosoever 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.πᾶς ὁ ⸀προάγων καὶ μὴ μένων ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ τοῦ Χριστοῦ θεὸν οὐκ ἔχει ὁ μένων ἐν τῇ ⸀διδαχῇ οὗτος καὶ τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὸν υἱὸν ἔχει
- 10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:εἴ ἔρχεται πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ταύτην τὴν διδαχὴν οὐ φέρει μὴ λαμβάνετε αὐτὸν εἰς οἰκίαν καὶ χαίρειν αὐτῷ μὴ λέγετε
- 11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.ὁ ⸂λέγων γὰρ⸃ αὐτῷ χαίρειν κοινωνεῖ τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ τοῖς πονηροῖς
- 12Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.Πολλὰ ἔχων ὑμῖν γράφειν οὐκ ἐβουλήθην διὰ χάρτου καὶ μέλανος ἀλλὰ ἐλπίζω ⸀γενέσθαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ στόμα πρὸς στόμα λαλῆσαι ἵνα ἡ χαρὰ ⸀ὑμῶν ⸂πεπληρωμένη ᾖ⸃
- 13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.Ἀσπάζεταί σε τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου τῆς ⸀ἐκλεκτῆς
