2 John 1

1The Elder, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,

ο πρεσβυτερος εκλεκτη κυρια και τοις τεκνοις αυτης, ους εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια, και ουκ εγω μονος, αλλα και παντες οι εγνωκοτες την αληθειαν,

2because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

δια την αληθειαν την μενουσαν εν ημιν, και μεθ ημων εσται εις τον αιωνα·

3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

εσται μεθ υμων χαρις, ελεος, ειρηνη παρα θεου πατρος και παρα κυριου ιησου χριστου του υιου του πατρος, εν αληθεια και αγαπη.

4I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

εχαρην λιαν οτι ευρηκα εκ των τεκνων σου περιπατουντας εν αληθεια, καθως εντολην ελαβομεν παρα του πατρος.

5And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.

και νυν ερωτω σε, κυρια, ουχ ως εντολην γραφων σοι καινην, αλλα ην ειχομεν απ αρχης, ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλους.

6This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

και αυτη εστιν η αγαπη, ινα περιπατωμεν κατα τας εντολας αυτου. αυτη εστιν η εντολη, καθως ηκουσατε απ αρχης, ινα εν αυτη περιπατητε.

7For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

οτι πολλοι πλανοι εισηλθον εις τον κοσμον, οι μη ομολογουντες ιησουν χριστον ερχομενον εν σαρκι· ουτος εστιν ο πλανος και ο αντιχριστος.

8Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

βλεπετε εαυτους, ινα μη απολεσωμεν α ειργασαμεθα, αλλα μισθον πληρη απολαβωμεν.

9Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

πας ο παραβαινων και μη μενων εν τη διδαχη του χριστου θεον ουκ εχει· ο μενων εν τη διδαχη του χριστου, ουτος και τον πατερα και τον υιον εχει.

10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

ει τις ερχεται προς υμας και ταυτην την διδαχην ου φερει, μη λαμβανετε αυτον εις οικιαν, και χαιρειν αυτω μη λεγετε·

11for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

ο γαρ λεγων [αυτω] χαιρειν κοινωνει τοις εργοις αυτου τοις πονηροις.

12Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

πολλα εχων υμιν γραφειν, ουκ ηβουληθην δια χαρτου και μελανος, αλλα ελπιζω ελθειν προς υμας και στομα προς στομα λαλησαι, ινα η χαρα ημων η πεπληρωμενη.

13The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

ασπαζεται σε τα τεκνα της αδελφης σου της εκλεκτης· αμην.
