约翰二书
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
1 做长老的写信给蒙拣选的太太[a]和她的儿女，就是我诚心所爱的；不但我爱，也是一切知道真理之人所爱的。 2 爱你们是为真理的缘故，这真理存在我们里面，也必永远与我们同在。 3 恩惠、怜悯、平安从父神和他儿子耶稣基督，在真理和爱心上，必常与我们同在！
照神的诫命行就是爱
4 我见你的儿女有照我们从父所受之命令遵行真理的，就甚欢喜。 5 太太啊，我现在劝你：我们大家要彼此相爱。这并不是我写一条新命令给你，乃是我们从起初所受的命令。 6 我们若照他的命令行，这就是爱。你们从起初所听见当行的，就是这命令。 7 因为世上有许多迷惑人的出来，他们不认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的。这就是那迷惑人、敌基督的。 8 你们要小心，不要失去你们[b]所做的工，乃要得着满足的赏赐。
越过基督教训的就没有神
9 凡越过基督的教训不常守着的，就没有神；常守这教训的，就有父又有子。 10 若有人到你们那里，不是传这教训，不要接他到家里，也不要问他的安。 11 因为问他安的，就在他的恶行上有份。
12 我还有许多事要写给你们，却不愿意用纸墨写出来，但盼望到你那里，与你们当面谈论，使你们的喜乐满足。 13 你那蒙拣选之姐妹的儿女都问你安。
约翰二书
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 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。 2 我们爱你们，因为真理在我们里面，并且永远与我们同在。
3 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
4 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。 5 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。 6 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
7 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。 8 你们要谨慎，好得到完满的赏赐，免得我们前功尽弃。 9 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。

2 John
King James Version
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
2 John
New King James Version
Greeting the Elect Lady
1 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, 2 because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
3 (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
4 I (C)rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5 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. 6 (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
7 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. 8 (J)Look to yourselves, (K)that [c]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 (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.
