~2John Chapter 1 ~

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

2  because of the truth remaining among us, and will be with us forever.

3  Grace, mercy, peace will be with you from YAHWEH the Father and from the Master Yahshua Messiah, the Son of the Father, in love and truth.

4  I rejoiced greatly because I found your children walking in truth, as we received command from the Father.

5  And I now request you, mother congregation, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but one which we had from the beginning, that we should love one another.

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

7  Because many deceivers went out into the world, those not confessing Yahshua Messiah to have come in the flesh, such a person is a deceiver and an anti-Messiah.

8  Watch yourselves, that we may not lose the things we worked out, but that we may receive a full reward.

9  Everyone transgressing and not abiding in the doctrine of Messiah Elohim is not in him. The one abiding in the doctrine of Messiah, this one has the Father and the Son.

10  If anyone comes to you and does not bear this doctrine, do not receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.

11  For the one speaking a greeting shares in his evil works.

12  Having many things to write to you, I do not intend to speak by means of paper and ink, but I am hoping to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.

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