Yoḥanan Bĕt (2 John) 1
1
1The elder, to a chosen Kuria and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,
2because of the truth which stays in us and shall be with us forever:
3Favour, compassion, peace be with you from Elohim the Father, and from the Master יהושע Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4I rejoiced greatly because I found some of your children walking in truth, as we received a command from the Father.
5And now I ask you, Kuria, not as though I wrote a fresh command to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
6And this is the love, that we walk according to His commands.#See 1John 5:3 and John 14:15 This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
7Because many who are leading astray went out into the world who do not confess יהושע Messiah as coming in the flesh. This one is he who is leading astray and the anti-messiah.
8See to yourselves, that we do not lose what we worked for, but that we might receive a complete reward.
9Everyone who is transgressing and not staying in the teaching of Messiah does not possess Elohim.#See 1Tim. 6:3 The one who stays in the teaching of Messiah possesses both the Father and the Son.#See 1John 1:3; 1John 2:22; 1John 5:20
10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house nor greet him,
11for he who greets him shares in his wicked works.
12Having much to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink, but I expect to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy might be complete.
13The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amĕn.

II John 1
1
Greeting the Elect Lady
1The Elder,
To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known #Col. 1:5the truth, 2because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
3#Rom. 1:7; 1 Tim. 1:2Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Walk in Christ’s Commandments
4I #1 Thess. 2:19, 20; 3 John 3, 4rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: #(John 13:34, 35; 15:12, 17); 1 John 3:11; 4:7, 11that we love one another. 6#John 14:15; 1 John 2:5; 5:3This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that #1 John 2:24as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
Beware of Antichrist Deceivers
7For #1 John 2:19; 4:1many deceivers have gone out into the world #1 John 4:2who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. #1 John 2:22This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8#Mark 13:9Look to yourselves, #Gal. 3:4that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9#John 7:16; 8:31; 1 John 2:19, 23, 24Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and #1 Kin. 13:16; Rom. 16:17; 2 Thess. 3:6, 14; Titus 3:10does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
John’s Farewell Greeting
12#3 John 13, 14Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, #John 17:13that our joy may be full.
13#1 Pet. 5:13The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
