Second Yōḥanan

	Walk According to His Commandments
1	1 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, 2 for the sake of the truth which dwells in us and will be with us past time immemorial. 3 Loving-kindness, mercy and shalōm will be with us, from the Al­mĭgh­ty, the Fă­ther and from Yĕshūa̒ the Mĕs­si­ah, the Sŏn of the Fă­ther, in truth and love.
4	4 I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received com­mand­ment from the Fă­ther. 5 And now I ask you, lady, not as writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the begin­ning, that we love one another. 6 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.
7	7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Yĕshūa̒ the Mĕs­si­ah as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the anti-messiah.
8	8  Watch yourselves, that you should not lose what we have ac­com­plished, but that you may receive a full reward. 9 Anyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Mĕs­si­ah, does not have the Al­mĭgh­ty. The one who re­mains in the teaching, he has both the Fă­ther and the Sŏn. 10 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, 11 because the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.
12	12 Having 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, that your joy may be made full.
13	13 The children of your chosen sister greet you.
