2 John 1章 ESV | 微讀聖經

Greeting

11:1 3 John 1; [1 Pet. 5:1] The elder to the elect lady and her children, 1:1 1 John 3:18; 3 John 1whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who 1:1 John 8:32; [1 Tim. 2:4; Heb. 10:26] know 1:1 John 1:17; 14:6; See Gal. 2:5the truth,

21:2 [1 Cor. 13:6]because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:

31:3 1 Tim. 1:2; 2 Tim. 1:2; [Jude 2]Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.

Walking in Truth and Love

41:4 3 John 3, 4I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father.

5And now I ask you, dear lady—1:5 1 John 2:7not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—1:5 See 1 John 3:11that we love one another.

6And 1:6 1 John 5:3; [1 John 2:5]; See John 14:15this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just 1:6 1 John 2:24as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.

7For 1:7 See 1 John 2:18, 26many deceivers 1:7 1 John 4:1have gone out into the world, 1:7 1 John 2:22; 4:2, 3those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

8Watch yourselves, 1:8 [Gal. 3:4; Heb. 10:35] so that you may not lose what we8 Some manuscripts you have worked for, but 1:8 See 1 Cor. 3:8may win a full reward.

9Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, 1:9 See 1 John 2:23does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching 1:9 See 1 John 2:23has both the Father and the Son.

10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, 1:10 [Rom. 16:17; Gal. 1:8, 9; 2 Thess. 3:6, 14; Titus 3:10]do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,

11for whoever greets him 1:11 [1 Tim. 5:22]takes part in his wicked works.

Final Greetings

121:12 3 John 13Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. 1:12 3 John 14Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, 1:12 John 15:11; 17:13so that our joy may be complete.

13The children of your elect sister greet you.
