- The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who know the truth,
- 2
- because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
- 3
- Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
- 4
- I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father.
- 5
- And now I ask you, dear lady—not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
- 6
- And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.

- For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
- 8
- Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.

- Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
- 10
- If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,
- 11
- for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
- 12
- Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
- 13
- The children of your elect sister greet you.
