2 John & 3 John
2 John
63:001:001 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in
the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known
the truth;
63:001:002 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with
us for ever.
63:001:003 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth
and love.
63:001:004 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in
truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
63:001:005 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new
commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love one another.
63:001:006 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is
the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye
should walk in it.
63:001:007 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and
an antichrist.
63:001:008 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we
have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
63:001:009 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
63:001:010 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
63:001:011 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil
deeds.
63:001:012 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with
paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to
face, that our joy may be full.
63:001:013 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
3 John
64:001:001 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the
truth.
64:001:002 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and
be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
64:001:003 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified
of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the
truth.
64:001:004 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in
truth.
64:001:005 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the
brethren, and to strangers;
64:001:006 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church:
whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly
sort, thou shalt do well:
64:001:007 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking
nothing of the Gentiles.
64:001:008 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
fellowhelpers to the truth.
64:001:009 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have
the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
64:001:010 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he
doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not
content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the
brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out
of the church.
64:001:011 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is
good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil
hath not seen God.
64:001:012 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth
itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our
record is true.
64:001:013 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen
write unto thee:
64:001:014 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face
to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the
friends by name.
