NASB Bible

2 John 1

Walk According to His Commandments

1

 aThe elder to the  bchosen  clady and her children, whom I  dlove in truth; and not only I, but also all who  eknow the truth,

2

for  athe sake of the truth which abides  bin us and will be  cwith us forever:

3

 aGrace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4

 aI was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father.

5

Now I ask you, lady,  anot as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had  afrom the beginning, that we  blove one another.

6

And  athis is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment,  bjust as you have heard  cfrom the beginning, that you should walk in it.

7

For  amany deceivers have  bgone out into the world, those who  cdo not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is  athe deceiver and the  dantichrist.

8

 aWatch yourselves,  bthat you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.

9

 1Anyone who  2goes too far and  adoes not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.

10

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching,  ado not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

11

for the one who gives him a greeting  aparticipates in his evil deeds.

12

 aThough I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that  1your  bjoy may be made full.

13

The children of your  achosen sister greet you.
