Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
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;
1
The Elder to the choice Kyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those having known the truth,
2 for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:
2
because of the truth that is remaining in us, and with us shall be to the age,
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.
3
there shall be with you grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, 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.
4
I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from 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.
5
and now I beseech thee, Kyria, not as writing to thee a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may 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.
6
and this is the love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as ye did hear from the beginning, that in it ye may walk,
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.
7
because many leading astray did enter into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist.
8 Watch yourselves, that we don't lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
8
See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive;
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.
9
every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath 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,
10
if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, `Hail!'
11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.
11
for he who is saying to him, `Hail,' hath fellowship with 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.
12
Many things having to write to you, I did not intend through paper and ink, but I hope to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full;
13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amein.
13
salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen.
