2 João
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Introdução
1 Do presbítero[a], à senhora escolhida por Deus e aos seus filhos, a quem eu amo na verdade[b] e não somente eu, mas todos os que conhecem a verdade. 2 Nós os amamos por causa da verdade que permanece em nós e que estará conosco para sempre.
3 A graça, a misericórdia e a paz de Deus Pai e de Jesus Cristo, o Filho do Pai, estarão conosco enquanto vivermos de acordo com a verdade e com amor.
A verdade e o amor
4 Eu fiquei muito feliz em ter encontrado entre os seus filhos aqueles que vivem de acordo com a verdade, como o Pai nos ordenou. 5 E agora peço-lhe, senhora, que amemos uns aos outros. Eu não estou escrevendo um mandamento novo, mas sim o mesmo que tivemos desde o princípio. 6 E amar é isto: Que vivamos de acordo com os mandamentos de Deus. Como vocês ouviram desde o princípio, o mandamento é este: Vivam uma vida de amor.
Os falsos mestres
7 Muitos enganadores têm saído pelo mundo afora e se recusam a reconhecer que Jesus Cristo veio ao mundo em forma humana. Quem faz isso é o Enganador e o Inimigo de Cristo. 8 Tenham cuidado para que vocês não percam aquilo que temos realizado entre vocês,[c] mas recebam toda a recompensa que merecem.
9 Todo aquele que vai além do ensino verdadeiro a respeito de Cristo e não permanece nesse ensino, não tem Deus. Mas aquele que continua nesse ensino tem tanto ao Pai como ao Filho. 10 Se alguém for até vocês e não levar este ensino, não o recebam em suas casas, nem lhe deem boas-vindas. 11 Pois aquele que lhe der boas-vindas torna-se cúmplice das suas más obras.
12 Eu ainda tenho muitas coisas para lhes dizer, mas não quis fazer isso com papel e tinta. Espero poder visitá-los e, assim, conversaremos pessoalmente, para que a nossa alegria seja completa. 13 Os filhos da sua irmã[d], que foi escolhida por Deus, mandam lembranças.

New International Version
1 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)— 2 because of the truth,(E) which lives in us(F) and will be with us forever:
3 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.
4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth,(H) just as the Father commanded us. 5 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. 6 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.
7 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) 8 Watch out that you do not lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.(Q) 9 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.

2 John
New King James Version
Greeting the Elect Lady
1 The Elder,
To the [a]elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known (A)the truth, 2 because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
3 (B)Grace, mercy, and peace will be with [b]you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Walk in Christ’s Commandments
4 I (C)rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: (D)that we love one another. 6 (E)This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that (F)as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
Beware of Antichrist Deceivers
7 For (G)many deceivers have gone out into the world (H)who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. (I)This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 (J)Look to yourselves, (K)that [c]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 (L)Whoever [d]transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and (M)does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
John’s Farewell Greeting
12 (N)Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, (O)that our joy may be full.
13 (P)The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
