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 Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 我這作長老的寫信給蒙揀選的女士[a]和你的兒女，就是我本著真理所愛的。你們不單是我所愛的，也是一切認識真理的人所愛的。 2 我們愛你們，因為真理在我們裡面，並且永遠與我們同在。
3 從父上帝和祂兒子耶穌基督而來的恩典、憐憫和平安也必在真理和愛中與我們同在！
彼此相愛
4 你的兒女當中有人按照我們從父領受的命令遵行真理，我知道後非常欣慰。 5 女士啊，我現在勸你，我們大家要彼此相愛。這不是新命令，而是我們從起初就已經領受的命令。 6 愛就是遵行上帝的命令，這是你們從起初就聽過又當遵行的命令。
提防騙子
7 因為現在世上有許多騙子出來迷惑人，他們否認耶穌基督曾降世為人。這樣的人是騙子，是敵基督者。 8 你們要謹慎，好得到完滿的賞賜，免得我們前功盡棄。 9 誰偏離基督的教導，誰心中就沒有上帝；誰遵守基督的教導，誰就有父和子與他同在。 10 若有人到你們那裡不傳基督的教導，不要請他到家裡，也不要問候他， 11 因為問候他就是與他同流合污。
結語
12 我還有許多事要告訴你們，但不想藉助紙墨，而是希望有機會到你們那裡與你們當面暢談，使我們充滿喜樂。
13 你那蒙揀選之姊妹的兒女問候你。

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].
