Etheridge - II John

Chapter 1

1:1  THE presbyter to the elect Kuria and to her sons, whom I love in truth, nor I only, but all they who know the truth,

1:2  on account of the truth which abideth in us, and is with us for ever;

1:3  Grace be with you and mercy and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from Jeshu Meshiha the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.

1:4  I have rejoiced much to have found of thy sons who walk in the truth, after the commandment we have received from the Father.

1:5  And now I entreat thee, Kuria,-no new commandment writing to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning,-that we love one another.

1:6  And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment; this commandment is according to that which you have heard from the beginning, that in it we should walk.

1:7  Because many deceivers are come out into the world who confess not that Jeshu Meshiha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and antichrist.

1:8  Be watchful of yourselves, that not any thing perish which you have wrought; but (that with) a complete reward you may be recompensed.

1:9  Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Meshiha, hath not Aloha. He who abideth in his doctrine, this hath both the Father and the Son.

1:10  If any one come to you, and this doctrine bring not, receive him not into the house, and "Joy to you," and " Farewell," say not to him.

1:11  For he who saith to him, " Farewell," becometh a participator of his evil deeds.

1:12  Though I have many things to write to you, I will not with parchment and ink; but I hope to come to you, and mouth with mouth to speak, that our joy may be complete.

1:13  The sons of thy elect sister ask your peace. Grace be with you. Amen.
