This commaundement is, that as ye haue hearde from the begynnyng, ye shoulde walke in it. 7 For many deceauers are entred into the worlde, which confesse not that Iesus Christe is come in the fleshe. This is a deceauer and an antichriste. 8 Loke on your selues, that we loose not that we haue wrought: but that we may haue a full rewarde. 9 Whosoeuer transgresseth, and bideth not in the doctrine of Christe, hath not God: He that endureth in the doctrine of Christe, hath both the father and the sonne. 10 If there come any vnto you, and bring not this learnyng, hym receaue not to house: neither byd hym God speede. 11 For he that byddeth hym God speede, is partaker of his euyll deedes. 12 I had many thynges to write vnto you: neuerthelesse, I woulde not write with paper & inke, but I trust to come vnto you, and speake with you mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full. 13 The sonnes of thy elect sister greete thee.

Which brethren, yf thou bryng forwardes of their iourney after a godly sorte, thou shalt do well. 7 Because that for his names sake they went foorth, and toke nothyng of the gentiles. 8 We therfore ought to receaue such, that we myght be helpers to the trueth. 9 I wrote vnto the Churche: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence among the, receaueth vs not. 10 Wherfore yf I come, I wyll declare his deedes which he doth, iestyng on vs with malicious wordes, neither is therwith content: not only he hym selfe receaueth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth the that woulde, and thrusteth them out of the Churche. 11 Beloued, folow not that which is euyl, but that which is good. He that doth well, is of God: but he that doth euyll, seeth not God. 12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the trueth it selfe: Yea, and we our selues also beare recorde, and ye knowe that our recorde is true. 13 I haue many thynges to write: but I wyll not with inke and penne write vnto thee. 14 I trust I shal shortly see thee, and we shall speake mouth to mouth. Peace be vnto thee. The louers salute thee. Greete the louers by name.
