1 The 3588 elder, 4245 to the chosen 1588 lady, 2959 and 2532 to 3588 her 1473 children, 5043 whom 3739 I 1473 love 25 in 1722 truth, 225 and 2532 not 3756 I 1473 alone, 3441 but 235 also 2532 all 3956 the ones 3588 knowing 1097 the 3588 truth; 225
2 through 1223 the 3588 truth 225 3588 abiding 3306 in 1722 us, 1473 and 2532 [²with 3326 ³us 1473 ¹shall be] into 1519 the 3588 eon. 165
3 There shall be with 3326 us 1473 favor, 5484 mercy, 1656 peace 1515 from 3844 God 2316 the father, 3962 and 2532 from 3844 the Lord 2962 Jesus Christ, 5547 the 3588 son 5207 of the 3588 father, 3962 in 1722 truth 225 and 2532 love. 26
4 I rejoiced 5463 exceedingly 3029 that 3754 I have found 2147 of 1537 3588 your 1473 children 5043 walking 4043 in 1722 truth, 225 as 2531 [²commandment 1785 ¹we received] 2983 from 3844 the 3588 father. 3962
5 And 2532 now 3568 I ask 2065 you, 1473 lady, 2959 not 3756 as 5613 [⁴commandment 1785 ¹writing 1125 ²to you 1473 ³a new], 2537 but 235 which 3739 we had 2192 from 575 the beginning, 746 that 2443 we should love 25 one another. 240
6 And 2532 this 3778 is the 3588 love, 26 that 2443 we should walk 4043 according to 2596 the 3588 commandments 1785 of his. 1473 This 3778 is the 3588 commandment 1785 as 2531 you heard 191 from 575 the beginning, 746 that 2443 in 1722 it 1473 you should walk. 4043
7 For 3754 many 4183 deluded ones 4108 entered 1525 into 1519 the 3588 world, 2889 the ones 3588 not 3361 acknowledging 3670 Jesus Christ 5547 coming 2064 in 1722 flesh. 4561 This 3778 is the 3588 deluded one, 4108 and 2532 the 3588 antichrist. 500
8 Take heed 991 of yourselves! 1438 that 2443 we should not lose what things 3739 we worked, 2038 but 235 [³wage 3408 ²a full 4134 ¹should accept]. 618
9 Anyone 3956 3588 violating 3845 and 2532 not 3361 abiding 3306 in 1722 the 3588 teaching 1322 of the 3588 Christ 5547 [³God 2316 ¹does not 3756 ²have]. 2192 The one 3588 abiding 3306 in 1722 the 3588 teaching 1322 of the 3588 Christ, 5547 this one 3778 [²even 2532 ³the 3588 ⁴father 3962 ⁵and 2532 ⁶the 3588 ⁷son 5207 ¹has]. 2192
10 If anyone 1536 comes 2064 to 4314 you, 1473 and 2532 this 3778 3588 teaching 1322 does not 3756 bring, 5342 do not 3361 receive 2983 him 1473 in 1519 the house, 3614 and 2532 [³hail 5463 ⁴to him 1473 ¹do not 3361 ²say]! 3004
11 For the one saying 3004 to him, 1473 Hail, 5463 participates with 2841 3588 [³works 2041 ¹his 1473 3588 ²evil]. 4190
12 Many things 4183 having 2192 to write to you, I do not want to with 1223 papyrus 5489 and 2532 ink; 3188 but 235 I hope 1679 to come 2064 to 4314 you, 1473 and 2532 mouth 4750 to 4314 mouth 4750 to speak, 2980 that 2443 3588 our 1473 joy 5479 might be filling. 4137
13 [⁶greet 782 ⁷you 1473 ¹The 3588 ²children 5043 3588 ⁵sister 79 ³of your 1473 3588 ⁴chosen]. 1588 Amen. 281
