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.

Drugi List św. Jana
Updated Gdańsk Bible

1 Starszy do wybranej pani i do jej dzieci, które miłuję w prawdzie, a nie tylko ja, ale i wszyscy, którzy poznali prawdę;

2 Ze względu na prawdę, która pozostaje w nas i będzie z nami na wieki.

3 Łaska, miłosierdzie i pokój od Boga Ojca i od Pana Jezusa Chrystusa, Syna Ojca, niech będzie z wami w prawdzie i miłości.

4 Ucieszyłem się bardzo, że wśród twoich dzieci znalazłem takie, które postępują w prawdzie, jak otrzymaliśmy przykazanie od Ojca.

5 A teraz proszę cię, pani, nie piszę ci jako nowe przykazanie, ale jako to, które mieliśmy od początku, abyśmy się wzajemnie miłowali.

6 A na tym polega miłość, żebyśmy postępowali według jego przykazań. A przykazanie jest takie, jak słyszeliście od początku, że macie według niego postępować.

7 Gdyż pojawiło się na świecie wielu zwodzicieli, którzy nie uznają, że Jezus Chrystus przyszedł w ciele. Taki jest zwodzicielem i antychrystem.

8 Miejcie się na baczności, żebyśmy nie stracili tego, nad czym pracowaliśmy, ale żebyśmy otrzymali pełną zapłatę.

9 Każdy, kto wykracza poza naukę Chrystusa, a nie pozostaje w niej, ten nie ma Boga. Kto pozostaje w nauce Chrystusa, ten ma i Ojca, i Syna.

10 Jeśli ktoś przychodzi do was i nie przynosi tej nauki, nie przyjmujcie go do domu ani go nie pozdrawiajcie.

11 Kto bowiem takiego pozdrawia, staje się uczestnikiem jego złych uczynków.

12 Mam wam wiele do napisania, ale nie chcę posługiwać się papierem i atramentem. Mam jednak nadzieję, że przybędę do was i porozmawiam z wami osobiście, aby nasza radość była pełna.

13 Pozdrawiają cię dzieci twojej wybranej siostry. Amen.

2 John
International Standard Version

Greetings from John

1 From:[a] The Elder

To: The chosen lady and her children, whom I genuinely love, and not only I but also all who know the truth, 2 that is present in us and will be with us forever.

3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus[b] the Messiah,[c] the Father’s Son, in truth and love.

Living in the Truth

4 I was overjoyed to find some of your[d] children living truthfully, just as the Father has commanded us. 5 Dear lady, I am now requesting of you[e] that we all continue to love one another. It is not as though I am writing to give you[f] a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning. 6 And this is what demonstrates[g] love: that we live according to God’s[h] commandments. Just as you[i] have heard from the beginning what he commanded, you[j] must live by it.

Reject False Teachers

7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world. They refuse to acknowledge Jesus the Messiah[k] as having become human. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 See[l] to it that you[m] don’t destroy what we have[n] worked for, but that you[o] receive your[p] full reward. 9 Everyone who does not remain true to the teaching of the Messiah,[q] but goes beyond it, does not have God. The person who remains true to the teaching of the Messiah[r] has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you[s] but does not present his teachings,[t] do not receive[u] him into your house or even welcome[v] him, 11 because the one who welcomes him shares in his evil deeds.

Final Greeting

12 Although I have a great deal to write to you,[w] I would prefer not to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete. 13 The children of your[x] chosen sister greet you.[y]
