  • 2 John 1:1- : 1 The elder to the elect Lady & her chyldren, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I only, but also all that haue knowen ye trueth: 2 For the truthes sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe in vs for euer: 3 Grace be with you, mercie, and peace from God the father, & from the Lorde Iesus Christe the sonne of the father, in trueth and loue. 4 I reioyced greatly, that I founde of thy chyldren walkyng in trueth, as we haue receaued a commaundement of the father. 5 And nowe beseche I thee Lady, not as though I wrote a newe commaundement vnto thee: but that same which we haue had from the begynnyng, that we shoulde loue one another. 6 And this is the loue, that we shoulde walke after his comaundement. 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. Amen. 1 The elder vnto ye beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the trueth. 2 Beloued, I wishe in all thynges that thou prosperedst and faredst well, euen as thy soule prospereth. 3 For I reioyced greatly, when the brethren came & testified of the trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in ye trueth. 4 I haue no greater ioy, the for to heare how that my sonnes walke in veritie. 5 Beloued, thou doest faythfully whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to straungers, 6 Which beare witnesse of thy loue before the Churche. 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.
