约翰二书
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
問安
1 我這作長老的，寫信給蒙揀選的夫人和她的兒女。你們是我在真理中所愛的；不單是我，凡認識真理的， 2 也因為真理的緣故愛你們。這真理在我們裡面，也必與我們同在，直到永遠。 3 願恩惠、憐憫、平安，從父 神和他兒子耶穌基督在真理和愛中與我們同在。
要按真理憑愛心行事
4 我看見你的兒女中，有人照著我們從父領受的命令在真理中行事，我就非常欣慰。 5 夫人哪，我現在請求你，我們要彼此相愛。我寫給你的，不是一條新命令，而是我們從起初就有的。 6 我們要照著他的命令行事，這就是愛。你們從起初所聽見的那命令，就是要你們憑著愛心行事。 7 有許多欺騙人的已經在世上出現，他們否認耶穌基督是成了肉身來的；這就是那騙人的和敵基督的。 8 你們要小心，不要拆毀我們已經完成的工作，卻要得著美滿的賞賜。 9 凡越過基督的教訓又不持守的，就沒有 神；持守這教訓的，就有父和子了。 10 如果有人到你們那裡，不傳這教訓，你們就不要接待他到家裡，也不要問候他； 11 因為問候他的，就在他的惡事上有分了。
問候的話
12 我還有許多話要寫給你們，可是我不想借用紙墨，只是盼望到你們那裡當面談談，好讓我們的喜樂充足。 13 你那蒙揀選的姊妹的兒女都問候你。
約 翰 二 書
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
1 我，一名长老，写信给蒙上帝挑选的夫人 [a]和她的儿女。
我爱你们在真理之中的人。不但我爱你们，所有认识真理的人也爱你们。 2 这是因为活在你们心中的真理永远与我们同在。
3 愿父上帝和他的儿子耶稣基督赐予的恩典、怜悯与和平与我们同在。我们通过真理与爱领受这些恩赐。
4 我非常高兴，因为我了解到你们中的一些儿女遵从真理之道，就如父所命令的那样。 5 现在，我亲爱的夫人，我请求你，（我给你们写的不是一条新的命令，而是我们从一开始就听到的那条命令。）我们应该彼此相爱。 6 这爱意味着：我们遵行他的命令。这是那条命令，正如你们从一开始就听过的那样：你们应该在爱中生活。
7 许多骗子已来到世间。他们不承认耶稣基督降世为人这一事实。这种人是骗子，是耶稣基督的敌人。 8 你们要当心，才能领受到丰硕的奖赏，而不致于失去自己已取得的成就。
9 任何逾越和不坚持基督教导的人，就没有上帝。任何坚持这教导的人，既有父，又有子。 10 如果有人到你们那里，却没有带去这教导，你们就不要把他接到家里去，也不要问候他。 11 问候他的人，就是在参与他的邪恶行为。
12 尽管我有许多事情要写信告诉你们，但是我不愿用纸墨交流，而更愿去拜访你们，与你们当面倾谈，好让我们得到充分的喜悦。 13 蒙受上帝挑选的姐妹的儿女向你们问好。

2 John
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
1 The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth[a]— and not only I, but also all the ones having known the truth— 2 because-of [b] the truth abiding in us. And it will be with us forever. 3 Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, will be with us in[c] truth and love.
I Rejoiced To Find You Walking In The Truth. Be Loving One Another
4 I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in the truth, just as we received commandment from the Father. 5 And now I ask you, lady— not as-if writing you a new commandment, but the one which we had from the beginning— that we be loving one another. 6 And this is love: that we be walking according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you[d] all heard from the beginning, that you should be walking in it.
Because There Are Many Deceivers. Watch Out, And Abide In The Teaching of Christ
7 Because many deceivers went-out into the world— the ones not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Be watching yourselves in order that you[e] may not lose[f] the things which we[g] accomplished, but may receive a full reward. 9 Everyone going-ahead[h] and not abiding in the teaching of Christ does not have God; the one abiding in the teaching— this one has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you[i] and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into the house[j] and do not speak greetings to him. 11 For the one speaking greetings to him shares in his evil works.
12 Having many things to write to you[k] all, I did not want to do so with paper and ink. But I hope to come-to-be with you and to speak mouth to mouth, in order that our joy may be full. 13 The children of your chosen sister greet you[l].
