Wesley Version
1755 by John Wesley
2Jo 1:1 The elder unto the elect Kuria and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but likewise all who know the truth, For the truth's sake,
2Jo 1:2 which abideth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
2Jo 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy and peace 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 of thy children walking in the truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
2Jo 1:5 And now I beseech thee, Kuria, (not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning ) that we may love one another.
2Jo 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment as ye have heard from the beginning, that ye may walk in it.
2Jo 1:7 For many seducers are entered into the world, who confess not Jesus Christ that came in the flesh.
2Jo 1:8 This is the seducer and the antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not the things we have wrought, but receive a full reward.
2Jo 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God:
2Jo 1:10 he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If any come to you, and bring not this doctrine,
2Jo 1:11 receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed. For he that biddeth him God speed, is partaker of his evil deeds.
2Jo 1:12 Having many things to write to you, I was not minded to write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
2Jo 1:13 The children of thy elect sister salute thee. Amen.
