2 Juan
Magandang Balita Biblia
1 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, 2 sapagkat ang katotohanan ay nasa atin ngayon at magpakailanman.
3 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
4 Labis akong nagalak nang makita ko ang ilan sa iyong mga anak na namumuhay ayon sa katotohanan, alinsunod sa utos ng Ama sa atin. 5 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. 6 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.
7 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] 8 Mag-ingat nga kayo upang huwag mawalang saysay ang aming pinagpaguran,[b] sa halip ay lubusan ninyong makamtan ang gantimpala.
9 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.

2 John
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
1 The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth[a]— and not only I, but also all the ones having known the truth— 2 because-of [b] the truth abiding in us. And it will be with us forever. 3 Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, will be with us in[c] truth and love.
I Rejoiced To Find You Walking In The Truth. Be Loving One Another
4 I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in the truth, just as we received commandment from the Father. 5 And now I ask you, lady— not as-if writing you a new commandment, but the one which we had from the beginning— that we be loving one another. 6 And this is love: that we be walking according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you[d] all heard from the beginning, that you should be walking in it.
Because There Are Many Deceivers. Watch Out, And Abide In The Teaching of Christ
7 Because many deceivers went-out into the world— the ones not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Be watching yourselves in order that you[e] may not lose[f] the things which we[g] accomplished, but may receive a full reward. 9 Everyone going-ahead[h] and not abiding in the teaching of Christ does not have God; the one abiding in the teaching— this one has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you[i] and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into the house[j] and do not speak greetings to him. 11 For the one speaking greetings to him shares in his evil works.
12 Having many things to write to you[k] all, I did not want to do so with paper and ink. But I hope to come-to-be with you and to speak mouth to mouth, in order that our joy may be full. 13 The children of your chosen sister greet you[l].
