1 The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,

2 because of the truth which abides in us, and shall be with us forever:

3 Grace, 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.

4 I rejoiced greatly that I found some of your children walking in truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.

5 And now I ask you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning: that we love one another.

6 And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment: that as you all have heard from the beginning, you all should walk in it.

7 For many deceivers have infiltrated the world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has become manifest in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things which we have worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

9 Whoever 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.

10 If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house, neither greet him with joy:

11 For he who greets him with joy participates in his evil conduct.

12 Having 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, that our joy may be full.

13 The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
