2Jn 1:2 for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

2Jn 1:3 Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

2Jn 1:4 I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father.

2Jn 1:5 Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

2Jn 1:6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

2Jn 1:8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.

2Jn 1:9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.

2Jn 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

2Jn 1:11 for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

2Jn 1:12 Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full.

2Jn 1:13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.

3Jn 1:1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.

3Jn 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

3Jn 1:3 For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

3Jn 1:4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

3Jn 1:5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;

3Jn 1:6 and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

3Jn 1:7 For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

3Jn 1:8 Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.

3Jn 1:9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

3Jn 1:10 For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.

3Jn 1:11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

3Jn 1:12 Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

3Jn 1:13 I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink;

3Jn 1:14 but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak face to face.

3Jn 1:15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
