做長老的寫信給蒙揀選的太太[a]和她的兒女,就是我誠心所愛的;不但我愛,也是一切知道真理之人所愛的。 愛你們是為真理的緣故,這真理存在我們裡面,也必永遠與我們同在。 恩惠、憐憫、平安從父神和他兒子耶穌基督,在真理和愛心上,必常與我們同在!

照神的誡命行就是愛

我見你的兒女有照我們從父所受之命令遵行真理的,就甚歡喜。 太太啊,我現在勸你:我們大家要彼此相愛。這並不是我寫一條新命令給你,乃是我們從起初所受的命令。 我們若照他的命令行,這就是愛。你們從起初所聽見當行的,就是這命令。 因為世上有許多迷惑人的出來,他們不認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的。這就是那迷惑人、敵基督的。 你們要小心,不要失去你們[b]所做的工,乃要得著滿足的賞賜。

越過基督教訓的就沒有神

凡越過基督的教訓不常守著的,就沒有神;常守這教訓的,就有父又有子。 10 若有人到你們那裡,不是傳這教訓,不要接他到家裡,也不要問他的安。 11 因為問他安的,就在他的惡行上有份。

12 我還有許多事要寫給你們,卻不願意用紙墨寫出來,但盼望到你那裡,與你們當面談論,使你們的喜樂滿足。 13 你那蒙揀選之姐妹的兒女都問你安。

  2. 約翰二書 1:8 有古卷作:我們。

我这做长老的写信给蒙拣选的女士[a]和你的儿女,就是我本着真理所爱的。你们不单是我所爱的,也是一切认识真理的人所爱的。 我们爱你们,因为真理在我们里面,并且永远与我们同在。

从父上帝和祂儿子耶稣基督而来的恩典、怜悯和平安也必在真理和爱中与我们同在!

彼此相爱

你的儿女当中有人按照我们从父领受的命令遵行真理,我知道后非常欣慰。 女士啊,我现在劝你,我们大家要彼此相爱。这不是新命令,而是我们从起初就已经领受的命令。 爱就是遵行上帝的命令,这是你们从起初就听过又当遵行的命令。

提防骗子

因为现在世上有许多骗子出来迷惑人,他们否认耶稣基督曾降世为人。这样的人是骗子,是敌基督者。 你们要谨慎,好得到完满的赏赐,免得我们前功尽弃。 谁偏离基督的教导,谁心中就没有上帝;谁遵守基督的教导,谁就有父和子与他同在。 10 若有人到你们那里不传基督的教导,不要请他到家里,也不要问候他, 11 因为问候他就是与他同流合污。

结语

12 我还有许多事要告诉你们,但不想借助纸墨,而是希望有机会到你们那里与你们当面畅谈,使我们充满喜乐。

13 你那蒙拣选之姊妹的儿女问候你。

  1. 1:1 学者一般认为“蒙拣选的女士”是指教会。

The elder,(A)

To the lady chosen by God(B) and to her children, whom I love in the truth(C)—and not I only, but also all who know the truth(D) because of the truth,(E) which lives in us(F) and will be with us forever:

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

It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth,(H) just as the Father commanded us. And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning.(I) I ask that we love one another. And this is love:(J) that we walk in obedience to his commands.(K) As you have heard from the beginning,(L) his command is that you walk in love.

I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ(M) as coming in the flesh,(N) have gone out into the world.(O) Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.(P) Watch out that you do not lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.(Q) Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ(R) does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.(S) 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.(T) 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares(U) in their wicked work.

12 I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face,(V) so that our joy may be complete.(W)

13 The children of your sister, who is chosen by God,(X) send their greetings.

  1. 2 John 1:8 Some manuscripts you

Greeting the Elect Lady

The Elder,

To the [a]elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known (A)the truth, because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

(B)Grace, mercy, and peace will be with [b]you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Walk in Christ’s Commandments

I (C)rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. And 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: (D)that we love one another. (E)This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that (F)as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

Beware of Antichrist Deceivers

For (G)many deceivers have gone out into the world (H)who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. (I)This is a deceiver and an antichrist. (J)Look to yourselves, (K)that [c]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

(L)Whoever [d]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. 10 If anyone comes to you and (M)does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

John’s Farewell Greeting

12 (N)Having 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, (O)that our joy may be full.

13 (P)The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
