JO2 1:1  The 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;

JO2 1:2  For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for
 ever.

JO2 1:3  Grace 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.

JO2 1:4  I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as
 we have received a commandment from the Father.

JO2 1:5  And 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.

JO2 1:6  And 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.

JO2 1:7  For 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.

JO2 1:8  Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have
 wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

JO2 1:9  Whosoever 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.

JO2 1:10  If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him
 not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

JO2 1:11  For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

JO2 1:12  Having 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.

JO2 1:13  The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
