2 John 4-8

New Living Translation

Live in the Truth

⁴ How happy I was to meet some of your children and find them living according to the truth, just as the Father commanded.

⁵ I am writing to remind you, dear friends,^[a] that we should love one another. This is not a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning. ⁶ Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.

⁷ I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came^[b] in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. ⁸ Watch out that you do not lose what we^[c] have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward.
