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 þ^e trueth:

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

³ Grace 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.

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

⁵ And 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.

⁶ And 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.

⁷ For 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.

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

⁹ Whosoeuer 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.

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

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

¹² Hauing 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.

¹³ The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

Timothy Wayne George's 2 John Chapter 1 comment about verse 10 on 2/16/2013, 12:45pm...

We have to keep the context of what this passage is talking about. If anyone does not believe in the virgin birth of Christ, then that person is an Anti-Christ, and you are not to bid them God speed. This does not mean that you treat all unbelievers as Anti-Christian. We are to be salt, and light in the world, and we should witness to unbelievers so that they can come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and escape the snares of the devil. To the one that has a child that is having sexual orientation issues, you must love them, but hate the sin. Pray for them, that God will open their eyes to the glorious gospel of truth. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance, (2 Peter 3:9).

Stepmom's 2 John Chapter 1 comment about verse 11 on 2/15/2013, 4:40pm...

My stepson who is 23 is a transvestite, has changed his name to a girl's name (not legally, but informally). He comes over to our home often on the weekends to spend time with us, eat with us, etc.. I no longer give him make up and beauty products or women's clothing, but is having any relationship with him at all "Godspeed"? My husband would not forbid him to come to the house, and I cannot impose this in my husband but want to be obedient to the Lord. What should we do? Is there an answer in Scripture? Does this verse apply to spending time with lost relatives? My parents are not born again either. How do I apply this verse to dealing with relatives?

@Nunu,
When John wrote the letter it was addressed to the church ''elect lady'' a productive mother with children [individual believers]. In concluding John being also a child amongst others sends regards of other children [individuals] and the mother [church].

Nunu's 2 John Chapter 1 comment on 10/23/2012, 7:38am...

Can you please help me understand verse 1, 2 and 5 ... Who/what does the word "Lady" reference to? Is it the church? If so, what about verse 13 "Sister" Thank you.

The Apostles Doctrine Acts 2:42.Many churchs have wondered far away from the Apostles Doctrine.With the development of the Trinity Christain Religious World,the gospel of the Apostle and the Apostles Doctrine is labeled as Heresy.Thank-you.

-I love knowing that I as an adult is also a child of God with an advocate by the name of Jesus.

Dr.John Prabhakar's 2 John Chapter 1 comment about verse 9 on 8/30/2011, 11:08am...

'Doctrine of Christ means several things. Firstly, the Father and the Son aspect. Secondly, the teachings of
christ as well as the Apostles doctrines. Thirdly, a little more teaching as to what Christ is to the church:
1) Church is the Kingdom of God; and Christ is the King in every local church. He rules. No man.
2) Church is the 'Body of Christ; and Christ it's Head. He controls. No man.
3) Church is the 'Sheepfold'; and Christ the Shepherd. He is the 'Pastor'. No man.
4) Church is the 'Temple of God'; and Christ its Chief Priest'.
5) All in the church are God's servants(Ro.6:22); and Christ the Lord.
This completes, more or less the Doctrine of Christ. This is my humble presentation, lovingly shared.
