2 John: Revised Murdock Translation
I.
1
THE Elder, to Kuriya the elect, and to her children: whom I love in
the truth, and not I only, but all they who know the truth;
2
Mercy for the sake of the truth, which abides in us and is with us
for ever.
3 May grace be with you, and mercy, and
peace, from Alaha the Father, and from Maran Yeshua Mshikha, the Son
of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I have rejoiced
greatly, that I found [some] of your children, who walked in the
truth, as we have received commandment from the Father.
5
And now, I beseech you, Kuriya, (I write no new commandment to you,
but that which was with us from the beginning,) that we should love
one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk
according to the commandment. This is the commandment, as you have
heard from the beginning, that we should walk in it.
7
Because many seducers have gone forth into the world, who confess not
that Yeshua Mshikha has come in the flesh. This is a seducer and
Antichrist.
8 Take heed to yourselves, that you lose
not what you have wrought; but that you may be recompensed with a
full reward.
9 Every one who transgresses, and abides
not in the doctrine of Mshikha, Alaha is not in him. And he who
abides in his doctrine, he has the Father and the Son.
10
If any one comes to you, and brings not this doctrine, entertain him
not in your house, nor say to him, “Shalom to you”:
11
for he that says to him, “Shalom to you,” is a
participator in his evil deeds.
12 Having many things
I could write to you, I would not with paper and ink; but I hope to
come to you, and to converse mouth to mouth, that our joy may be
complete.
13 The children of your elect sister salute
you. Grace be with you. Amen.
