| The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth, | |
| for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever: | |
| Grace, mercy {and} peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. | |
| I was very glad to find {some} of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment {to do} from the Father. | |
| Now I ask you, lady, not as though {I were} writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. | |
| And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. | |
| For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ {as} coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. | |
| Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. | |
| Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. | |
| If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into {your} house, and do not give him a greeting; | |
| for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds. | |
| Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to {do so} with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full. | |
| The children of your chosen sister greet you. |
