2 John 1:1–3 John 1:14

^1:1THE 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;

^1:1¶ The Elder vnto the elect Lady, and her children, whome I loue in the trueth: and not I onely, but also all they that haue knowen y ^e trueth:

^1:2For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

^1:2For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer:

^1:3Grace 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.

^1:3Grace bee with you, mercie, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ, the Sonne of the Father in trueth and loue.

^1:4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

^1:4I reioyced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in trueth, as wee haue receiued a commaundement from the Father.

^1:5And 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.

^1:5And now, I beseech thee Lady, not as though I wrote a new commandement vnto thee: but that which wee had from the beginning, that wee loue one another.

^1:6And 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.

^1:6And this is loue, that wee walke after his Commandements. This is the Commandement, that as yee haue heard from the beginning, yee should walke in it.

^1:7For 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.

^1:7For many deceiuers are entred into the world, who confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiuer, and an Antichrist.

^1:8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

^1:8Looke to your selues, that wee lose not those things which wee haue ^‖wrought, but that we receiue a full reward.

^1:9Whosoever 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.

^1:9Whosoeuer transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: hee that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.

^1:10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

^1:10If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not into your house, neither bid him, God speed.

^1:11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

^1:11For hee that biddeth him God speed, is partaker of his euill deeds.

^1:12Having 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.

^1:12Hauing many things to write vnto you, I would not write with paper and inke, but I trust to come vnto you, and speake ^†face to face, that our ioy may be full.

^1:13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

^1:13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

^1:1THE elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

^1:1¶ The Elder vnto the welbeloued Gaius, whom I loue ^‖in the trueth:

^1:2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

^1:2Beloued, I ^‖wish aboue all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, euen as thy soule prospereth.

^1:3For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

^1:3For I reioyced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, euen as thou walkest in the trueth.

^1:4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

^1:4I haue no greater ioy, then to heare that my children walke in truth.

^1:5Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;

^1:5Beloued, thou doest faithfully whatsoeuer thou doest to the Brethren, and to strangers:

^1:6Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:

^1:6Which haue borne witnesse of thy charitie before the Church: whome if thou bring forward on their iourney after a godly sort, thou shalt doe well:

^1:7Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

^1:7Because that for his Names sake they went foorth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

^1:8We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

^1:8We therefore ought to receiue such, that we might be fellow helpers to the trueth.

^1:9I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

^1:9I wrote vnto the Church, but Diotrephes, who loueth to haue the preeminence among them, receiueth vs not.

^1:10Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

^1:10Wherefore if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against vs with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth hee himselfe receiue the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the Church.

^1:11Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

^1:11Beloued, follow not that which is euill, but that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: but hee that doth euill, hath not seene God.

^1:12Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

^1:12Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the trueth it selfe: yea, and we also beare record, and ye know that our record is true.

^1:13I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

^1:13I had many things to write, but I will not with inke and pen write vnto thee.

^1:14But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

^1:14But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and wee shall speake ^†face to face. Peace bee to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
