2nd John | King James Version (KJV)

2nd John 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;

2nd John 1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

2nd John 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.

2nd John 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

2nd John 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.

2nd John 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.

2nd John 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.

2nd John 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

2nd John 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.

2nd John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

2nd John 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

2nd John 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.
