问安

我这作长老的,写信给蒙拣选的夫人和她的儿女。你们是我在真理中所爱的;不单是我,凡认识真理的, 也因为真理的缘故爱你们。这真理在我们里面,也必与我们同在,直到永远。 愿恩惠、怜悯、平安,从父 神和他儿子耶稣基督在真理和爱中与我们同在。

要按真理凭爱心行事

我看见你的儿女中,有人照着我们从父领受的命令在真理中行事,我就非常欣慰。 夫人哪,我现在请求你,我们要彼此相爱。我写给你的,不是一条新命令,而是我们从起初就有的。 我们要照着他的命令行事,这就是爱。你们从起初所听见的那命令,就是要你们凭着爱心行事。 有许多欺骗人的已经在世上出现,他们否认耶稣基督是成了肉身来的;这就是那骗人的和敌基督的。 你们要小心,不要拆毁我们已经完成的工作,却要得着美满的赏赐。 凡越过基督的教训又不持守的,就没有 神;持守这教训的,就有父和子了。 10 如果有人到你们那里,不传这教训,你们就不要接待他到家里,也不要问候他; 11 因为问候他的,就在他的恶事上有分了。

问候的话

12 我还有许多话要写给你们,可是我不想借用纸墨,只是盼望到你们那里当面谈谈,好让我们的喜乐充足。 13 你那蒙拣选的姊妹的儿女都问候你。

From the Zaken (Elder, SHEMOT 3:16). To the Gevirah HaBechirah (the Chosen Lady) and her Banim (Sons, Children), for whom I have ahavah (agape) b’Emes, and not only I but also all those who have Da’as HaEmes (Knowledge of the Truth),

Because of HaEmes that dwells inside us, and will be immanu (with us) for Yamim HaOlam.

Chen v’Chesed Hashem (unmerited Favor and Kindness), Rachamim Hashem (Mercy), and Shalom Hashem (Peace) will be immanu (with us) from Elohim HaAv and from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, HaBen of HaAv, in Emes and Ahavah (agape).

I had simcha gedola (much joy) that I have found some of your Banim with a walk which is Halakhah b’Derech Emes (Conduct in the Way of Truth), just as we received a mitzvah (commandment) to do so from HaAv [1:3].

And now I beseech you, Gevirah [1:1], not as a mitzvah chadasha (new commandment) I am writing you, but that which we had meyReshit (from the Beginning): that we should have ahavah (agape) one for the other [Yochanan 13:34].

And this is ahavah, that we should walk with a halichah according to the Mitzvot of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; this is the mitzvah just as you have heard it meyReshit. You must walk in it [1:5].

Because mat’im rabbim (many misleaders, deceivers) have gone out into the world, the ones not making the Ani Ma’amin moyde (confession) that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua habah b’basar (has come in bodily flesh); this one is HaMat’eh (the Deceiving One) and the Anti-Moshiach.

Watch out for yourselves, lest you lose what we worked for, but may receive a sachar maleh (full reward).

Everyone who runs ahead and does not remain in the torah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach does not have Hashem; the one remaining in the torah [of Moshiach], this one has both HaAv and HaBen.

10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this torah, do not receive him into your house [kehillah, shtiebel], and do not give him Drishat Shalom.

11 For the one giving Drishat Shalom to him has shuttafut (partnership) with his ma’asim hara’im (evil deeds).

12 I have many things to write to you; I wanted not to do so with parchment and ink, but I have the tikvah (hope) to be with you and to speak panim el panim (directly, in person—DEVARIM 34:10), that our simcha (joy) may be shleimah (complete).

13 Drishat Shalom from the Banim of your Achot HaBechirah (Chosen Sister).

Saluto

Io, il presbitero, alla Signora eletta e ai suoi figli che amo nella verità, e non io soltanto, ma tutti quelli che hanno conosciuto la verità, a causa della verità che dimora in noi e dimorerà con noi in eterno: grazia, misericordia e pace siano con noi da parte di Dio Padre e da parte di Gesù Cristo, Figlio del Padre, nella verità e nell'amore.

Il comando della carità

Mi sono molto rallegrato di aver trovato alcuni tuoi figli che camminano nella verità, secondo il comandamento che abbiamo ricevuto dal Padre. E ora prego te, Signora, non per darti un comandamento nuovo, ma quello che abbiamo avuto fin dal principio, che ci amiamo gli uni gli altri. E in questo sta l'amore: nel camminare secondo i suoi comandamenti. Questo è il comandamento che avete appreso fin dal principio; camminate in esso.

Gli anticristi

Poiché molti sono i seduttori che sono apparsi nel mondo, i quali non riconoscono Gesù venuto nella carne. Ecco il seduttore e l'anticristo! Fate attenzione a voi stessi, perché non abbiate a perdere quello che avete conseguito, ma possiate ricevere una ricompensa piena. Chi va oltre e non si attiene alla dottrina del Cristo, non possiede Dio. Chi si attiene alla dottrina, possiede il Padre e il Figlio. 10 Se qualcuno viene a voi e non porta questo insegnamento, non ricevetelo in casa e non salutatelo; 11 poiché chi lo saluta partecipa alle sue opere perverse.

Conclusione

12 Molte cose avrei da scrivervi, ma non ho voluto farlo per mezzo di carta e di inchiostro; ho speranza di venire da voi e di poter parlare a viva voce, perché la nostra gioia sia piena.

13 Ti salutano i figli della eletta tua sorella.

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.
