II John 1
1
Greeting the Elect Lady
1The Elder,
To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known #Col. 1:5the truth, 2because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
3#Rom. 1:7; 1 Tim. 1:2Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Walk in Christ’s Commandments
4I #1 Thess. 2:19, 20; 3 John 3, 4rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: #(John 13:34, 35; 15:12, 17); 1 John 3:11; 4:7, 11that we love one another. 6#John 14:15; 1 John 2:5; 5:3This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that #1 John 2:24as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
Beware of Antichrist Deceivers
7For #1 John 2:19; 4:1many deceivers have gone out into the world #1 John 4:2who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. #1 John 2:22This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8#Mark 13:9Look to yourselves, #Gal. 3:4that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9#John 7:16; 8:31; 1 John 2:19, 23, 24Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and #1 Kin. 13:16; Rom. 16:17; 2 Thess. 3:6, 14; Titus 3:10does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
John’s Farewell Greeting
12#3 John 13, 14Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, #John 17:13that our joy may be full.
13#1 Pet. 5:13The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
