1The Elder, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,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;
2because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.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.
4I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.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.
6This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.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.
7For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.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.
8Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.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.
10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.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.
13The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
