Mula sa Matandang pinuno ng iglesya—

Para sa hinirang na Ginang at sa kanyang mga anak, na tunay kong minamahal. Hindi lamang ako kundi ang lahat ng nakakaalam ng katotohanan ay nagmamahal sa inyo, sapagkat ang katotohanan ay nasa atin ngayon at magpakailanman.

Sa pamamagitan ng katotohanan at pag-ibig, ipagkakaloob sa atin ng Diyos Ama at ni Jesu-Cristo na Anak niya, ang pagpapala, habag, at kapayapaan.

Ang Katotohanan at ang Pag-ibig

Labis akong nagalak nang makita ko ang ilan sa iyong mga anak na namumuhay ayon sa katotohanan, alinsunod sa utos ng Ama sa atin. At(A) ngayon, Ginang, hinihiling ko sa iyo na magmahalan tayong lahat. Hindi ito bagong utos kundi isang dating utos na sa simula pa'y nasa atin na. At ganito ang pag-ibig na binabanggit ko: mamuhay tayo nang ayon sa mga utos ng Diyos. Ito ang utos na ibinigay sa inyo noon pang una: mamuhay kayo nang may pag-ibig.

Sapagkat nagkalat sa sanlibutan ang mga mandaraya! Ayaw nilang kilalanin na si Jesu-Cristo'y dumating bilang tao. Ang ganoong tao ay mandaraya at kaaway ni Cristo.[a] Mag-ingat nga kayo upang huwag mawalang saysay ang aming pinagpaguran,[b] sa halip ay lubusan ninyong makamtan ang gantimpala.

Ang hindi nananatili sa turo ni Cristo kundi nagdaragdag dito, ay wala sa kanya ang Diyos. Sinumang nananatili sa turo ni Cristo ay nasa kanya ang Ama at ang Anak. 10 Sinumang dumating sa inyo na ibang turo ang dala ay huwag ninyong tanggapin sa inyong bahay, ni huwag ninyong batiin, 11 sapagkat ang bumabati sa kanya ay nagiging kaisa niya sa masamang gawain.

Panghuling Pananalita

12 Marami pa sana akong sasabihin sa inyo, ngunit ayaw ko nang gumamit ng papel at tinta. Sa halip, ako'y umaasang makapunta diyan at makausap kayo nang personal upang malubos ang ating kagalakan.

13 Kinukumusta ka ng mga anak ng iyong kapatid na babae na hinirang.

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;

For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

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.

I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

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.

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.

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.

Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

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.

L'ancien, à Kyria l'élue et à ses enfants, que j'aime dans la vérité, -et ce n'est pas moi seul qui les aime, mais aussi tous ceux qui ont connu la vérité, -

à cause de la vérité qui demeure en nous, et qui sera avec nous pour l'éternité:

que la grâce, la miséricorde et la paix soient avec vous de la part de Dieu le Père et de la part de Jésus Christ, le Fils du Père, dans la vérité et la charité!

J'ai été fort réjoui de trouver de tes enfants qui marchent dans la vérité, selon le commandement que nous avons reçu du Père.

Et maintenant, ce que je te demande, Kyria, -non comme te prescrivant un commandement nouveau, mais celui que nous avons eu dès le commencement, -c'est que nous nous aimions les uns les autres.

Et l'amour consiste à marcher selon ses commandements. C'est là le commandement dans lequel vous devez marcher, comme vous l'avez appris dès le commencement.

Car plusieurs séducteurs sont entrés dans le monde, qui ne confessent point que Jésus Christ est venu en chair. Celui qui est tel, c'est le séducteur et l'antéchrist.

Prenez garde à vous-mêmes, afin que vous ne perdiez pas le fruit de votre travail, mais que vous receviez une pleine récompense.

Quiconque va plus loin et ne demeure pas dans la doctrine de Christ n'a point Dieu; celui qui demeure dans cette doctrine a le Père et le Fils.

10 Si quelqu'un vient à vous et n'apporte pas cette doctrine, ne le recevez pas dans votre maison, et ne lui dites pas: Salut!

11 car celui qui lui dit: Salut! participe à ses mauvaises oeuvres.

12 Quoique j'eusse beaucoup de choses à vous écrire, je n'ai pas voulu le faire avec le papier et l'encre; mais j'espère aller chez vous, et vous parler de bouche à bouche, afin que notre joie soit parfaite.

13 Les enfants de ta soeur l'élue te saluent.

Greeting the Elect Lady

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, because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

(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

I (C)rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 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. (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

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. (J)Look to yourselves, (K)that [c]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

(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.
