2 John 1

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 The elder, to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;

2 for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:

3 Grace, mercy, and shalom will be with us, from God the Father, and from the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.

5 Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new mitzvah, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

6 This is love, that we should walk according to his mitzvot. This is the mitzvah, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don't confess that Yeshua the Messiah came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Anti-messiah.

8 Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

9 Whoever transgresses and doesn't remain in the teaching of Messiah, doesn't have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you, and doesn't bring this teaching, don't receive him into your house, and don't welcome him,

11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.

12 Having many things to write to you, I don't want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amein.

The Message Bible MSG

1 My dear congregation, I, your pastor, love you in very truth. And I'm not alone - everyone who knows the Truth

2 that has taken up permanent residence in us loves you.

3 Let grace, mercy, and peace be with us in truth and love from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, Son of the Father!

4 I can't tell you how happy I am to learn that many members of your congregation are diligent in living out the Truth, exactly as commanded by the Father.

5 But permit me a reminder, friends, and this is not a new commandment but simply a repetition of our original and basic charter: that we love each other.

6 Love means following his commandments, and his unifying commandment is that you conduct your lives in love. This is the first thing you heard, and nothing has changed.

7 There are a lot of smooth-talking charlatans loose in the world who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ was truly human, a flesh-and-blood human being. Give them their true title: Deceiver! Antichrist!

8 And be very careful around them so you don't lose out on what we've worked so diligently in together; I want you to get every reward you have coming to you.

9 Anyone who gets so progressive in his thinking that he walks out on the teaching of Christ, walks out on God. But whoever stays with the teaching, stays faithful to both the Father and the Son.

10 If anyone shows up who doesn't hold to this teaching, don't invite him in and give him the run of the place.

11 That would just give him a platform to perpetuate his evil ways, making you his partner.

12 I have a lot more things to tell you, but I'd rather not use paper and ink. I hope to be there soon in person and have a heart-to-heart talk. That will be far more satisfying to both you and me.

13 Everyone here in your sister congregation sends greetings.
