Noyes Translation
1869 by George Noyes
2Jo 1:1 ¶ The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth,––
2Jo 1:2 for the sake of the truth which abideth in us, and will be with us for ever.
2Jo 1:3 Grace, mercy, peace shall be with you from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2Jo 1:4 I rejoiced greatly, that I found some of thy children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
2Jo 1:5 ¶ And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2Jo 1:6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
2Jo 1:7 ¶ For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist.
2Jo 1:8 Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward.
2Jo 1:9 Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father.
2Jo 1:10 ¶ If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.
2Jo 1:11 For he that biddeth him good speed taketh part in his evil deeds.
2Jo 1:12 ¶ Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
2Jo 1:13 The children of thy elect sister salute thee.
