2JO-11 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 . 2JO-12 For the truth's sake which dwelleth in us and shall be with us for ever . 2JO-13 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 . 2JO-14 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth as we have received a commandment from the Father . 2JO-15 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 . 2JO-16 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 . 2JO-17 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 . 2JO-18 Look to yourselves that we lose not those things which we have wrought but that we receive a full reward . 2JO-19 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 . 2JO-110 If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine receive him not into your house neither bid him God speed . 2JO-111 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds . 2JO-112 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 . 2JO-113 The children of thy elect sister greet thee Amen . ~~~~~~
