2 Juan
Ang Salita ng Diyos
1 Ako na isang matanda ay sumusulat sa hinirang na ginang at sa kaniyang mga anak na aking iniibig sa katotohanan. Hindi lamang ako ang umiibig sa inyo kundi kasama rin ang lahat ng nakakilala ng katotohanan. 2 Minamahal ko kayo alang-alang sa katotohanang nananatili sa atin at mamamalagi sa atin magpakailanman.
3 Sumainyo ang biyaya, kahabagan at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos Ama at mula sa Panginoong Jesucristo, ang Anak ng Ama sa katotohanan at sa pag-ibig.
4 Labis akong nagagalak na makita ko ang inyong mga anak na lumalakad sa katotohanan, ayon sa tinanggap nating utos mula sa Ama. 5 Ngayon ay nakikiusap ako sa iyo, ginang, hindi sa waring sumusulat ako sa iyo ng isang bagong utos kundi yaong tinanggap na natin buhat pa sa pasimula. Ito ay ang mag-ibigan tayo sa isa’t isa. 6 Ganito ang pag-ibig: Lumakad tayo ayon sa kaniyang mga kautusan. Ito ang utos na inyong narinig buhat pa sa pasimula na siyang dapat ninyong lakaran.
7 Maraming manlilinlang ang narito na sa sanlibutan. Sila yaong mga ayaw kumilala na si Jesucristo ay nagkatawang-tao. Ang ganitong tao ay isang mandaraya at anticristo. 8 Ingatan ninyo ang inyong sarili upang huwag mawala sa atin ang mga bagay na ating pinagpagalan kundi matanggap natin ang buong gantimpala. 9 Sa sinumang sumasalangsang at hindi nananatili sa aral ni Cristo ay wala sa kaniya ang Diyos. Siya na nananatili sa aral ni Cristo, ang Ama at ang Anak ay nasa kaniya. 10 Kung may dumating sa inyo at hindi dala ang aral na ito, huwag ninyong tanggapin sa inyong bahay, ni batiin man. 11 Ito ay sapagkat ang sinumang bumabati sa kaniya ay nakikibahagi sa kaniyang masasamang gawa.
12 Maraming bagay akong isusulat sa inyo ngunit hindi ko ibig na isulat sa pamamagitan ng papel at tinta. Umaasa akong makapariyan sa inyo at makausap kayo ng mukhaan upang malubos ang ating kagalakan.
13 Binabati ka ng mga anak ng kapatid mong babaeng hinirang. Siya nawa!
2 John
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.

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.
