Walk According to His Commandments
1The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth,G42452for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:G1223G225G3588G3306G1722G2254G2532G2071G3326G2257G1519G165
3Grace, mercy [and] peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.G5485G2071G3326G5216G1656G1515G3844G2316G3962G2532G3844G2962G2424G5547G5207G3962G1722G225G2532G26
4I was very glad to find [some] of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment [to do] from the Father.G5463G3029G3754G2147G1537G4675G5043G4043G1722G225G2531G2983G1785G3844G3962
5And now I ask you, lady, not as writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.G2532G3568G2065G4571G2959G3756G5613G1125G1125G2537G1785G4671G235G3739G2192G575G746G2443G25G240
6And 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.G2532G3778G2076G26G2443G4043G2596G846G1785G3778G2076G1785G2443G2531G191G575G746G4043G1722G846
7For 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.G3754G4183G4108G1525G1519G2889G3588G3670G3361G2424G5547G2064G1722G4561G3778G2076G4108G2532G500
8Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.G991G1438G3363G622G3363G3739G2038G235G618G4134G3408
9Anyone 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.G3956G3845G2532G3306G3361G1722G1322G5547G2192G3756G2316G3306G1722G1322G5547G3778G2192G2532G3962G2532G5207
10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into [your] house, and do not give him a greeting;G1536G2064G1536G5100G4314G5209G2532G5342G3756G5026G1322G2983G846G3361G1519G3614G2532G3361G3004G846G5463
11for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.G1063G3004G846G5463G2841G846G4190G2041
New Testament
12Having 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, that your joy may be made full.G2192G4183G1125G5213G1014G3756G1223G5489G2532G3188G235G1679G2064G4314G5209G2532G2980G4750G4314G4750G2443G2257G5479G5600G4137
13The children of your chosen sister greet you.G5043G4675G1588G79G782G4571G281
