1 Scroll 32 Second Epistle of John.
The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in truth;
and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 for the truth's sake which abiding in us, and shall be with us forever.
3 Grace, mercy, and peace shall be with you from God the Father,
and from Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly, that I have found of Thy children walking in truth,
as we received a Commandment from the Father.
5
And now I beseech Thee, lady, not as though I writing a new Commandment to Thee,
but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is the love, that we should walk according to His Commandments.
This is the Commandment, as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers entered into the World,
who confess not that Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver, and the Antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we may lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgressing, and not abiding in the doctrine of Christ, has not God.
He who abiding in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.
10
If anyone comes to you, and brings not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house, and neither say to him rejoice:
11 for he saying him to rejoice, is partaker of his evil works.
12 Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink:
but I hope to come to you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of Thy elect sister salute Thee. Amen!
