2John:1
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The Elder ,
unto an elect lady and her children ,
whom I love in truth ;
and not ,
I ,
alone ,
but all those also who understand the truth ,
*
For the sake of the truth that abideth in us ,
and ,
with us ,
shall be unto times age-abiding ,
*
Favour ,
mercy ,
peace shall be with us ,
from God the Father ,
and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father ,
in truth and love .
*
I rejoiced exceedingly ,
in that I had found ,
from among thy children ,
such as were walking in truth ,
even as ,
a commandment ,
we received from the Father .
*
And ,
now ,
I request thee ,
lady ,
not as writing ,
a new commandment ,
unto thee ,
but one which we were holding from the beginning That we should be loving one another .
*
And ,
this ,
is love ,
that we should be walking according to his commandments :
This ,
is ,
the commandment ,
even as ye heard from the beginning ,
that ,
therein ,
ye should be walking .
*
Because ,
many deceivers ,
have gone out into the world ,
they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh :
This ,
is the deceiver and the antichrist .
*
Be taking heed unto yourselves ,
lest ye lose what things we earned ,
but ,
a full reward ,
ye may duly receive .
*
Every one that taketh a lead ,
and abideth not in the teaching of Christ ,
hath not ,
God :
he that abideth in the teaching ,
the same ,
hath ,
both the Father and the Son .
*
If anyone cometh unto you and ,
this teaching ,
doth not bring ,
be not receiving him home ,
and ,
Joy to thee !
do not say ;
*
For ,
he that biddeth him rejoice ,
hath fellowship with his wicked works .
*
Though I had many things ,
unto you ,
to write ,
I was not minded with paper and ink ;
but I hope to come unto you ,
and ,
mouth to mouth ,
to talk ,
that your joy may be made full .
*
The children of thy chosen sister salute thee .
