2 Juan
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Panimula
1 Mula sa matanda para sa hinirang na ginang at kanyang mga anak, na tunay kong iniibig, at hindi lamang ako, kundi lahat ng nakaaalam ng katotohanan, 2 sapagkat ang katotohanan ay nananatili sa atin, at sasaatin magpakailanman. 3 Sumaatin nawa ang biyaya, habag at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos Ama at mula kay Jesu-Cristo, na Anak ng Ama sa katotohanan at pag-ibig.
Katotohanan at Pag-ibig
4 Labis akong nagalak nang malaman kong ilan sa iyong mga anak ay namumuhay sa katotohanan, tulad ng utos na tinanggap natin mula sa Ama. 5 At ngayon, ginang, ako'y humihiling sa iyo; hindi tulad ng isang bagong utos ang isinusulat ko sa iyo, kundi iyon ding tinanggap natin mula nang simula, na ibigin natin ang isa't isa. 6 At ito ang pag-ibig: tayo'y mamuhay ayon sa kanyang mga utos. At ito ang utos, tulad ng inyong narinig mula pa noong una: mamuhay tayo ayon dito. 7 Sapagkat maraming mandaraya ang kumalat sa sanlibutan. Hindi nila kinikilala na dumating si Jesu-Cristo bilang tao. Ang mga ito ang mandaraya at ang anti-Cristo! 8 Ingatan ninyo ang inyong mga sarili, upang hindi masira ang aming pinagpaguran, kundi tumanggap kayo ng lubos na gantimpala. 9 Ang sinumang lumalampas at hindi nananatili sa katuruan ni Cristo, wala sa kanya ang Diyos. Subalit ang sinumang nananatili sa katuruan, nasa kanya ang Ama at ang Anak. 10 Ang sinumang dumating sa inyo na hindi taglay ang katuruang ito ay huwag tanggapin sa inyong tahanan, at huwag din ninyo siyang batiin. 11 Sapagkat ang tumatanggap sa taong ito ay nakikibahagi sa kanyang masasamang gawa.
Pangwakas na Pagbati
12 Marami pa sana akong isusulat sa inyo, subalit hindi ko nais gawin ito sa papel at tinta, kundi ako'y umaasa na makarating sa inyo at makapag-usap tayo nang harapan, upang malubos ang ating kagalakan.
13 Binabati ka ng mga anak ng hinirang na kapatid mong babae.
2 John
Authorized (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
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.
