2 John 1:1-3

Greeting

1 The Elder:^[a] To the elect lady^[b] and her children, whom I love in truth-and not only I, but also all who have come to know the truth-

2 because of the truth that remains in us and will be with us forever.

3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

• [a] Or Presbyter
• [b] Or Kyria, a proper name; probably a literary figure for a local church known to John; the children would be its members.
