Prezbiterul[a] către aleasa Doamnă şi către copiii ei, pe(A) care-i iubesc în adevăr – şi nu numai eu, ci toţi cei ce cunosc adevărul(B) –, pentru adevărul acesta care rămâne în noi şi care va fi cu noi în veac: Harul, îndurarea şi pacea să fie(C) cu voi din partea lui Dumnezeu Tatăl şi din partea Domnului Isus Hristos, Fiul Tatălui, în adevăr(D) şi în dragoste! M-am bucurat foarte mult când am aflat pe unii din copiii tăi umblând(E) în adevăr, după porunca pe care am primit-o de la Tatăl. Şi acum, te rog, Doamnă, nu(F) ca şi cum ţi-aş scrie o poruncă nouă, ci cea pe care am avut-o de la început: să(G) ne iubim unii pe alţii! Şi dragostea stă(H) în vieţuirea după poruncile Lui. Aceasta este porunca în care trebuie să umblaţi după cum(I) aţi auzit de la început. Căci în lume s-au răspândit mulţi(J) amăgitori, care(K) nu mărturisesc că Isus Hristos vine în trup. Iată(L) amăgitorul, iată antihristul! Păziţi-vă(M) bine să(N) nu pierdeţi rodul muncii voastre, ci să primiţi o răsplată deplină. Oricine(O) o ia înainte şi nu rămâne în învăţătura lui Hristos n-are pe Dumnezeu. Cine rămâne în învăţătura aceasta are pe Tatăl şi pe Fiul. 10 Dacă vine cineva la voi şi nu vă aduce învăţătura aceasta, să nu-l primiţi în casă şi să nu-i(P) ziceţi: „Bun venit!” 11 Căci cine-i zice: „Bun venit!” se face părtaş faptelor lui rele. 12 Aş vrea să vă spun multe(Q) lucruri, dar nu voiesc să vi le scriu pe hârtie şi cu cerneală, ci nădăjduiesc să vin la voi şi să vă vorbesc gură către gură, pentru ca(R) bucuria noastră să fie deplină. 13 Copiii surorii tale alese îţi(S) trimit sănătate. Amin.

  1. 2 Ioan 1:1 Sau: bătrânul.

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, because the truth remains in us and will be with us forever.

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

How happy I was to find that some of your children live in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. (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. 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.

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. Be on your guard, then, so that you will not lose what we[b] have worked for, but will receive your reward in full.

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.

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.

  1. 2 John 1:8 Some manuscripts you

Se upp för falska ledare

1-2 Från er äldste, Johannes, till den församling som är bland Guds utvalda, och till alla er, mina kära älskade barn i församlingen. Alla vi som känner sanningen älskar er. Den knyter oss samman med eviga band.

Gud, Fadern, och hans Son Jesus Kristus, ska välsigna oss med stor nåd och frid och med sanning och kärlek.

Jag är så glad över att jag har träffat några av er och förstått att ni lever som man bör och följer sanningen och lyder Guds bud.

Och nu, kära vänner, vill jag allvarligt påminna er om det bud som Gud gav oss redan från början, och som ni väl känner till. Låt oss inte glömma bort att älska varandra.

Om vi älskar Gud, kommer vi att göra allt vad han ber oss om. Och han har från början sagt till oss att älska varandra.

Se upp för falska ledare. Det finns många av dem, och de tror inte att Jesus Kristus kom till jorden som en mänsklig varelse, med en kropp som vår. Sådana människor är emot sanningen och emot Kristus.

Se till att ni inte blir lika dem och förlorar den lön som ni och jag har arbetat så hårt för att få. Se till att ni får er fulla belöning från Herren.

Om ni kommer bort från Kristi undervisning, förlorar ni nämligen gemenskapen med Gud, men om ni är trogna Kristi lära, så har ni gemenskap med både Fadern och Sonen.

10 Om någon kommer för att undervisa er och inte tror på det som Kristus lärde, bjud honom då inte ens in i era hem. Uppmuntra honom inte på något sätt.

11 Om ni gör det blir ni delaktiga i hans ondska.

Slutord

12 Jag skulle egentligen vilja säga mycket mer, men jag vill inte göra det i detta brev, för jag hoppas att snart kunna hälsa på er. Då kan vi tala vidare och glädjas över att vi får vara tillsammans.

13 Er systerförsamling och alla Guds barn här sänder tillsammans med mig sina hälsningar.Johannes
