Good News Translation Help
1From the Elder - To the dear Lady and to her children, whom I truly love. And I am not the only one, but all who know the truth love you,G4245G1588G2959G2532G846G5043G3739G1473G25G1722G225G2532G3756G1473G3441G235G2532G3956G1097G225
2because the truth remains in us and will be with us forever.G1223G225G3588G3306G1722G2254G2532G2071G3326G2257G1519G165
3May God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, give us grace, mercy, and peace; may they be ours in truth and love.G5485G2071G3326G5216G1656G1515G3844G2316G3962G2532G3844G2962G2424G5547G5207G3962G1722G225G2532G26

Truth and Love

4How happy I was to find that some of your children live in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.G5463G3029G3754G2147G1537G4675G5043G4043G1722G225G2531G2983G1785G3844G3962
5And so I ask you, dear Lady: let us all love one another. This is no new command I am writing you; it is the command which we have had from the beginning.G2532G3568G2065G4571G2959G3756G5613G1125G1125G2537G1785G4671G235G3739G2192G575G746G2443G25G240
6This love I speak of means that we must live in obedience to God's commands. The command, as you have all heard from the beginning, is that you must all live in love.G2532G3778G2076G26G2443G4043G2596G846G1785G3778G2076G1785G2443G2531G191G575G746G4043G1722G846
7Many deceivers have gone out over the world, people who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came as a human being. Such a person is a deceiver and the Enemy of Christ.G3754G4183G4108G1525G1519G2889G3588G3670G3361G2424G5547G2064G1722G4561G3778G2076G4108G2532G500
8Be on your guard, then, so that you will not lose what we have worked for, but will receive your reward in full.G991G1438G3363G622G3363G3739G2038G235G618G4134G3408
9Anyone who does not stay with the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God. Whoever does stay with the teaching has both the Father and the Son.G3956G3845G2532G3306G3361G1722G1322G5547G2192G3756G2316G3306G1722G1322G5547G3778G2192G2532G3962G2532G5207
10So then, if some come to you who do not bring this teaching, do not welcome them in your homes; do not even say, "Peace be with you."G1536G2064G1536G5100G4314G5209G2532G5342G3756G5026G1322G2983G846G3361G1519G3614G2532G3361G3004G846G5463
11For anyone who wishes them peace becomes their partner in the evil things they do.G1063G3004G846G5463G2841G846G4190G2041

Final Words

12I have so much to tell you, but I would rather not do it with paper and ink; instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you personally, so that we shall be completely happy.G2192G4183G1125G5213G1014G3756G1223G5489G2532G3188G235G1679G2064G4314G5209G2532G2980G4750G4314G4750G2443G2257G5479G5600G4137
13The children of your dear Sister send you their greetings.G5043G4675G1588G79G782G4571G281
