约翰二书
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
问安
1 我[a]这做长老的，
致蒙拣选的夫人[b]和她的儿女：
你们[c]就是我在真理中所爱的，不单是我，也是所有认识真理的人所爱的， 2 因为真理住在我们里面，也将与我们同在，直到永远。
3 从父神和父的儿子耶稣基督[d]而来的恩典、怜悯、平安，在真理和爱中，将与我们同在。
真理与欺骗
4 我极其欢喜，因为我看见你的儿女当中有人照着我们从父所领受的命令，在真理中行事[e]。 5 夫人[f]哪，现在我请求你：让我们大家[g]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命令。 6 我们要按照他的命令行事[h]，这就是爱；你们要照着你们从起初所听见的在其中行事[i]，这就是命令。
7 原来，有许多迷惑人的已经在世上出现[j]，他们不承认耶稣基督是以肉身而来的；这样的人是迷惑人的，敌基督的。 8 你们自己要当心，免得失去我们[k]大家[l]为之所做的工，而要得着你们完满的报偿。 9 凡是越过基督的教导，不住在这教导中的，就没有神；那住在这教导中的，他才有了父，也有了子。 10 如果有人到你们那里去，不带着这教导，你们就不要接他到家里，也不要问候他， 11 因为问候他的，就在他的恶行上有份了。
信末的问候
12 我虽然有很多话要写给你们，但不想用纸墨，只希望到你们那里去，并且与你们面对面交谈，好使我们[m]的喜乐得以满足。
13 你那蒙拣选的姐妹的儿女问候你。[n]

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

1 From the Elder—
To the dear Lady and to her children,[a] whom I truly love. And I am not the only one, but all who know the truth love you, 2 because the truth remains in us and will be with us forever.
3 May God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, give us grace, mercy, and peace; may they be ours in truth and love.
Truth and Love
4 How happy I was to find that some of your children live in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. 5 (A)And so I ask you, dear Lady: let us all love one another. This is no new command I am writing you; it is the command which we have had from the beginning. 6 This love I speak of means that we must live in obedience to God's commands. The command, as you have all heard from the beginning, is that you must all live in love.
7 Many deceivers have gone out over the world, people who do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came as a human being. Such a person is a deceiver and the Enemy of Christ. 8 Be on your guard, then, so that you will not lose what we[b] have worked for, but will receive your reward in full.
9 Anyone who does not stay with the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God. Whoever does stay with the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 So then, if some come to you who do not bring this teaching, do not welcome them in your homes; do not even say, “Peace be with you.” 11 For anyone who wishes them peace becomes their partner in the evil things they do.
Final Words
12 I have so much to tell you, but I would rather not do it with paper and ink; instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you personally, so that we shall be completely happy.
13 The children of your dear Sister[c] send you their greetings.
