问候

我作长老的写信给蒙拣选的夫人[a]和她的儿女,就是我真心所爱的;不但我爱,也是一切认识真理的人所爱的, 这是因为真理住在我们里面,也必与我们同在直到永远。 愿恩惠、怜悯、平安[b]从父 神和他儿子耶稣基督,在真理和爱中必与我们同在。

真理和爱

我非常欢喜见你的儿女,有照我们从父所受之命令遵行真理的。 夫人哪,我现在请求你,我们大家要彼此相爱。我写给你的,并不是一条新命令,而是我们从起初就有的。 这就是爱,就是照他的命令行事;这就是命令,你们要照这命令行,正如你们从起初所听见的。

有许多迷惑人的已经来到世上,他们不宣认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的;这样的人是迷惑人的,是敌基督的。 你们要小心,不要失去你们[c]所完成的工作,而要得到充足的赏赐。

凡越过基督的教导而不持守的,就没有 神;凡持守这教导的,就有父又有子。 10 若有人到你们那里而不传这教导,不要接他到家里,也不要向他问安; 11 因为向他问安的,就在他的恶行上有份。

结束的问安

12 我还有许多事要写给你们,却不愿意用纸用墨,但盼望到你们那里,与你们面对面谈论,使我们的喜乐得以满足。 13 你那蒙拣选的姊妹的儿女向你问安。

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

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;

For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

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.

I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

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.

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.

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.

Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

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.
