Book 63 2 John 001:001 The Elder to the elect lady and her children. 
Truly I love you all, and not I alone, but also all who know the truth, 
001:002 for the sake of the truth which is continually in our hearts and 
will be with us for ever. 001:003 Grace, mercy and peace will be with 
us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in 
truth and love. 001:004 It is an intense joy to me to have found some of 
your children living true Christian lives, in obedience to the command 
which we have received from the Father. 001:005 And now, dear lady, 
I pray you--writing to you, as I do, not a new command, but the one 
which we have had from the very beginning--let us love one another. 
001:006 The love of which I am speaking consists in our living in 
obedience to God's commands. God's command is that you should live 
in obedience to what you all heard from the very beginning. 001:007 
For many deceivers have gone out into the world--men who do not 
acknowledge Jesus as Christ who has come in human nature. Such a 
one is `the deceiver' and `the anti-Christ.' 001:008 Keep guard over 
yourselves, so that you may not lose the results of your good deeds, but 
may receive back a full reward. 001:009 No one has God, who instead 
of remaining true to the teaching of Christ, presses on in advance: but 
he who remains true to that teaching has both the Father and the Son. 
001:010 If any one who comes to you does not bring this teaching, do 
not receive him under your roof nor bid him Farewell. 001:011 He who 
bids him Farewell is a sharer in his evil deeds. 001:012 I have a great 
deal to say to you all, but will not write it with paper and ink. Yet I 
hope to come to see you and speak face to face, so that your happiness 
may be complete. 001:013 The children of your elect sister send 
greetings to you.
