1:1 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;
1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be
with us for ever.
1:3 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.
1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in
truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
1:5 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.
1:6 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.
1:7 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.
1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we
have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
1:9 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.
1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your] house, neither bid him God speed:
1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil
deeds.
1:12 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.
1:13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
