[1]THE presbyter to the elect Kuria and to her sons, whom I love in truth, nor I only, but all they who know the truth,
[2]On account of the truth which abideth in us, and is with us for ever;
[3]Grace be with you and mercy and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from Jeshu Meshiha the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.
[4]I have rejoiced much to have found of thy sons who walk in the truth, after the commandment we have received from the Father.
[5]And now I entreat thee, Kuria,—no new commandment writing to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning,—that we love one another.
[6]And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment; this commandment is according to that which you have heard from the beginning, that in it we should walk.
[7]Because many deceivers are come out into the world who confess not that Jeshu Meshiha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and antichrist.
[8]Be watchful of yourselves, that not any thing perish which you have wrought; but [that with] a complete reward you may be recompensed.
[9]Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Meshiha, hath not Aloha.ⓘ He who abideth in his doctrine, this hath both the Father and the Son.
[10]If any one come to you, and this doctrine bring not, receive him not into the house, and "Joy to you," and "Farewell," say not to him.
[11]For he who saith to him, "Farewell," becometh a participator of his evil deeds.
[12]Though I have many things to write to you, I will not with parchment and ink; but I hope to come to you, and mouth with mouth to speak, that our joy may be complete.
[13]The sons of thy elect sister ask your peace. Grace be with you. Amen.
Finished is the Second Epistle of Juhanon the apostle
