Yochanan’s Second Letter - to "the Chosen Lady"

^1:1The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth; ^1:2for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: ^1:3Grace, mercy, and shalom will be with us, from G-d the Father, and from the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

^1:4I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father. ^1:5Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new mitzvah, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. ^1:6This is love, that we should walk according to his mitzvot. This is the mitzvah, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. ^1:7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don't confess that Yeshua the Messiah came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-messiah. ^1:8Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward. ^1:9Whoever transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Messiah, doesn't have G-d. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son. ^1:10If anyone comes to you, and doesn't bring this teaching, don't receive him into your house, and don't welcome him, ^1:11for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.

^1:12Having many things to write to you, I don't want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full. ^1:13The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amein.
