2 John 1

Greeting
 1(A) The elder to the elect lady and her children,(B) whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who(C) know(D) the truth, 2(E) because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:

 3(F) Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.

Walking in Truth and Love
 4(G) I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. 5And now I ask you, dear lady—(H) not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—(I) that we love one another. 6And(J) this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just(K) as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. 7For(L) many deceivers(M) have gone out into the world,(N) those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8Watch yourselves,(O) so that you may not lose what we[a] have worked for, but(P) may win a full reward. 9Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ,(Q) does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching,(R) do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11for whoever greets him(S) takes part in his wicked works.
Final Greetings
 12(T) Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink.(U) Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face,(V) so that our joy may be complete.

 13The children of your elect sister greet you.

3 John 1

Greeting
 1(A) The elder to the beloved Gaius,(B) whom I love in truth.

 2Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3For(C) I rejoiced greatly when the brothers[a] came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. 4I have no greater joy than to hear that(D) my children are walking in the truth.

Support and Opposition
 5Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for(E) these brothers,(F) strangers as they are, 6who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner(G) worthy of God. 7For they have gone out for the sake of(H) the name,(I) accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

 9I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. 10So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church.

 11Beloved,(J) do not imitate evil but imitate good.(K) Whoever does good is from God;(L) whoever does evil has not seen God. 12Demetrius(M) has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also add our testimony, and(N) you know that our testimony is true.

Final Greetings
 13(O) I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink. 14I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.

 15Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends,(P) every one of them.

Jude 1

Listen to this passage

Jude 1

Greeting
 1Jude, a servant[a] of Jesus Christ and brother of James,

   

   (A) To those who are called,(B) beloved in God the Father and(C) kept for[b] Jesus Christ:

 2May(D) mercy,(E) peace, and love be multiplied to you.

Judgment on False Teachers
 3Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our(F) common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you(G) to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4For(H) certain people(I) have crept in unnoticed(J) who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert(K) the grace of our God into sensuality and(L) deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

 5Now I want(M) to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that(N) Jesus, who saved[c] a people out of the land of Egypt,(O) afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6And(P) the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7just as(Q) Sodom and Gomorrah and(R) the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and(S) pursued unnatural desire,[d] serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.

 8Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and(T) blaspheme the glorious ones. 9But when(U) the archangel(V) Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing(W) about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said,(X) "The Lord rebuke you." 10(Y) But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11Woe to them! For they walked in(Z) the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain(AA) to Balaam’s error and(AB) perished in Korah’s rebellion. 12These are hidden reefs[e](AC) at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear,(AD) shepherds feeding themselves;(AE) waterless clouds,(AF) swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead,(AG) uprooted; 13(AH) wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of(AI) their own shame;(AJ) wandering stars,(AK) for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

 14It was also about these that Enoch,(AL) the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying,(AM) "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15(AN) to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have(AO) committed in such an ungodly way, and of all(AP) the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him." 16These are grumblers, malcontents,(AQ) following their own sinful desires;(AR) they are loud-mouthed boasters,(AS) showing favoritism to gain advantage.

A Call to Persevere
 17But you must(AT) remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18They[f] said to you,(AU) "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions." 19It is these who cause divisions, worldly people,(AV) devoid of the Spirit. 20But you, beloved,(AW) building yourselves up in your most holy faith and(AX) praying in the Holy Spirit, 21(AY) keep yourselves in the love of God,(AZ) waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22And have mercy on those who doubt; 23save others by(BA) snatching them out of(BB) the fire; to others show mercy(BC) with fear, hating even(BD) the garment[g] stained by the flesh.
Doxology
 24(BE) Now to him who is able(BF) to keep you from stumbling and(BG) to present you(BH) blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25to(BI) the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,(BJ) be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
