1:1The
elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not
I only, but also all they that know the truth; 1:2for the truth's sake which abideth in
us, and it shall be with us for ever: 1:3Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us,
from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in
truth and love. 1:4I rejoice greatly that I have found
certain of thy children walking in truth, even as we received
commandment from the Father. 1:5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as
though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love one another. 1:6And this is love, that we should walk
after his commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the
beginning, that ye should walk in it. 1:7For many deceivers are gone forth into
the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in
the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 1:8Look to
yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye
receive a full reward. 1:9Whosoever goeth onward 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. 1:10If any one cometh unto you, and
bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and
give him no greeting: 1:11for he that giveth him greeting
partaketh in his evil works. 1:12Having many things to write unto you,
I would not write them with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto
you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be made full. 1:13The children of
thine elect sister salute thee.
