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.

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters
with respect and fear, and with
sincerity of heart, just as you would
obey Christ.
6 Obey them not only to win their
favor when their eye is on you, but
as slaves of Christ,
doing the will of God from
your heart.
7 Serve wholeheartedly, as
if you were serving the Lord,
not people,
8 because you know that
the Lord will reward each one
for whatever good they do,
whether they are slave or free. |
|
12 Therefore, I urge you,
brothers and sisters, in view
of God’s mercy, to offer your
bodies as a living sacrifice,
holy and pleasing to God—
this is your true and
proper worship.
2 Do not conform to the pattern
of this world, but
be transformed by the
renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is—
his good, pleasing and perfect will. |
