1  The elder <4245> unto the elect <1588> lady <2959> and <2532> her <846> children <5043>, whom <3739> I <1473> love <25> (5719) in <1722> the truth <225>; and <2532> not <3756> I <1473> only <3441>, but <235> also <2532> all <3956> they that have known <1097> (5761) the truth <225>;1  Ο ΠΡΕΣΒΥΤΕΡΟς ΕΚΛΕΚΤΗ ΚΥΡΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΟΙς ΤΕΚΝΟΙς ΑΥΤΗς ΟΥς ΕΓΩ ΑΓΑΠΩ ΕΝ ΑΛΗΨΕΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΟΥΚ ΕΓΩ ΜΟΝΟς ΑΛΛΑ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΝΤΕς ΟΙ ΕΓΝΩΚΟΤΕς ΤΗΝ ΑΛΗΨΕΙΑΝ
2  For <1223> the truth's sake <225>, which <3588> dwelleth <3306> (5723) in <1722> us <2254>, and <2532> shall be <2071> (5704) with <3326> us <2257> for <1519> ever <165>.2  ΔΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΑΛΗΨΕΙΑΝ ΤΗΝ ΜΕΝΟΥΣΑΝ ΕΝ ΗΜΙΝ ΚΑΙ ΜΕΨ ΗΜΩΝ ΕΣΤΑΙ ΕΙς ΤΟΝ ΑΙΩΝΑ
3  Grace <5485> be <2071> (5704) with <3326> you <5216>, mercy <1656>, and peace <1515>, from <3844> God <2316> the Father <3962>, and <2532> from <3844> the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, the Son <5207> of the Father <3962>, in <1722> truth <225> and <2532> love <26>.3  ΕΣΤΑΙ ΜΕΨ ΗΜΩΝ ΧΑΡΙς ΕΛΕΟς ΕΙΡΗΝΗ ΠΑΡΑ ΨΕΟΥ ΠΑΤΡΟς ΚΑΙ ΠΑΡΑ ΙΗΣΟΥ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΥΙΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΠΑΤΡΟς ΕΝ ΑΛΗΨΕΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΑΓΑΠΗ
4  I rejoiced <5463> (5644) greatly <3029> that <3754> I found <2147> (5758) of <1537> thy <4675> children <5043> walking <4043> (5723) in <1722> truth <225>, as <2531> we have received <2983> (5627) a commandment <1785> from <3844> the Father <3962>.4  ΕΧΑΡΗΝ ΛΙΑΝ ΟΤΙ ΕΥΡΗΚΑ ΕΚ ΤΩΝ ΤΕΚΝΩΝ ΣΟΥ ΠΕΡΙΠΑΤΟΥΝΤΑς ΕΝ ΑΛΗΨΕΙΑ ΚΑΨΩς ΕΝΤΟΛΗΝ ΕΛΑΒΟΜΕΝ ΠΑΡΑ ΤΟΥ ΠΑΤΡΟς
5  And <2532> now <3568> I beseech <2065> (5719) thee <4571>, lady <2959>, not <3756> as though <5613> I wrote <1125> (5719) (5625) <1125> (5723) a new <2537> commandment <1785> unto thee <4671>, but <235> that which <3739> we had <2192> (5707) from <575> the beginning <746>, that <2443> we love <25> (5725) one another <240>.5  ΚΑΙ ΝΥΝ ΕΡΩΤΩ ΣΕ ΚΥΡΙΑ ΟΥΧ Ως ΕΝΤΟΛΗΝ ΓΡΑΦΩΝ ΣΟΙ ΚΑΙΝΗΝ ΑΛΛΑ ΗΝ ΕΙΧΟΜΕΝ ΑΠ ΑΡΧΗς ΙΝΑ ΑΓΑΠΩΜΕΝ ΑΛΛΗΛΟΥς
6  And <2532> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) love <26>, that <2443> we walk <4043> (5725) after <2596> his <846> commandments <1785>. This <3778> is <2076> (5748) the commandment <1785>, That <2443>, as <2531> ye have heard <191> (5656) from <575> the beginning <746>, ye should walk <4043> (5725) in <1722> it <846>.6  ΚΑΙ ΑΥΤΗ ΕΣΤΙΝ Η ΑΓΑΠΗ ΙΝΑ ΠΕΡΙΠΑΤΩΜΕΝ ΚΑΤΑ ΤΑς ΕΝΤΟΛΑς ΑΥΤΟΥ ΑΥΤΗ Η ΕΝΤΟΛΗ ΕΣΤΙΝ ΚΑΨΩς ΗΚΟΥΣΑΤΕ ΑΠ ΑΡΧΗς ΙΝΑ ΕΝ ΑΥΤΗ ΠΕΡΙΠΑΤΗΤΕ
7  For <3754> many <4183> deceivers <4108> are entered <1525> (5627) into <1519> the world <2889>, who <3588> confess <3670> (5723) not <3361> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> is come <2064> (5740) in <1722> the flesh <4561>. This <3778> is <2076> (5748) a deceiver <4108> and <2532> an antichrist <500>.7  ΟΤΙ ΠΟΛΛΟΙ ΠΛΑΝΟΙ ΕΞΗΛΨΟΝ ΕΙς ΤΟΝ ΚΟΣΜΟΝ ΟΙ ΜΗ ΟΜΟΛΟΓΟΥΝΤΕς ΙΗΣΟΥΝ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΝ ΕΡΧΟΜΕΝΟΝ ΕΝ ΣΑΡΚΙ ΟΥΤΟς ΕΣΤΙΝ Ο ΠΛΑΝΟς ΚΑΙ Ο ΑΝΤΙΧΡΙΣΤΟς
8  Look <991> (5720) to yourselves <1438>, that <3363> <0> we lose <622> (5661) not <3363> those things which <3739> we have wrought <2038> (5662), but <235> that we receive <618> (5632) a full <4134> reward <3408>.8  ΒΛΕΠΕΤΕ ΕΑΥΤΟΥς ΙΝΑ ΜΗ ΑΠΟΛΕΣΗΤΕ Α ΕΙΡΓΑΣΑΜΕΨΑ ΑΛΛΑ ΜΙΣΨΟΝ ΠΛΗΡΗ ΑΠΟΛΑΒΗΤΕ
9  Whosoever <3956> transgresseth <3845> (5723), and <2532> abideth <3306> (5723) not <3361> in <1722> the doctrine <1322> of Christ <5547>, hath <2192> (5719) not <3756> God <2316>. He that abideth <3306> (5723) in <1722> the doctrine <1322> of Christ <5547>, he <3778> hath <2192> (5719) both <2532> the Father <3962> and <2532> the Son <5207>.9  ΠΑς Ο ΠΡΟΑΓΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΜΗ ΜΕΝΩΝ ΕΝ ΤΗ ΔΙΔΑΧΗ ΤΟΥ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΥ ΨΕΟΝ ΟΥΚ ΕΧΕΙ Ο ΜΕΝΩΝ ΕΝ ΤΗ ΔΙΔΑΧΗ ΟΥΤΟς ΚΑΙ ΤΟΝ ΠΑΤΕΡΑ ΚΑΙ ΤΟΝ ΥΙΟΝ ΕΧΕΙ
10  If <1536> <0> there come <2064> (5736) any <1536> <5100> unto <4314> you <5209>, and <2532> bring <5342> (5719) not <3756> this <5026> doctrine <1322>, receive <2983> (5720) him <846> not <3361> into <1519> your house <3614>, neither <2532> <3361> bid <3004> (5720) him <846> God speed <5463> (5721):10  ΕΙ ΤΙς ΕΡΧΕΤΑΙ ΠΡΟς ΥΜΑς ΚΑΙ ΤΑΥΤΗΝ ΤΗΝ ΔΙΔΑΧΗΝ ΟΥ ΦΕΡΕΙ ΜΗ ΛΑΜΒΑΝΕΤΕ ΑΥΤΟΝ ΕΙς ΟΙΚΙΑΝ ΚΑΙ ΧΑΙΡΕΙΝ ΑΥΤΩ ΜΗ ΛΕΓΕΤΕ
11  For <1063> he that biddeth <3004> (5723) him <846> God speed <5463> (5721) is partaker <2841> (5719) of his <846> evil <4190> deeds <2041>.11  Ο ΛΕΓΩΝ ΓΑΡ ΑΥΤΩ ΧΑΙΡΕΙΝ ΚΟΙΝΩΝΕΙ ΤΟΙς ΕΡΓΟΙς ΑΥΤΟΥ ΤΟΙς ΠΟΝΗΡΟΙς
12  Having <2192> (5723) many things <4183> to write <1125> (5721) unto you <5213>, I would <1014> (5675) not <3756> write with <1223> paper <5489> and <2532> ink <3188>: but <235> I trust <1679> (5719) to come <2064> (5629) unto <4314> you <5209>, and <2532> speak <2980> (5658) face <4750> to <4314> face <4750>, that <2443> our <2257> joy <5479> may be <5600> (5753) full <4137> (5772).12  ΠΟΛΛΑ ΕΧΩΝ ΥΜΙΝ ΓΡΑΦΕΙΝ ΟΥΚ ΕΒΟΥΛΗΨΗΝ ΔΙΑ ΧΑΡΤΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΜΕΛΑΝΟς ΑΛΛΑ ΕΛΠΙΖΩ ΓΕΝΕΣΨΑΙ ΠΡΟς ΥΜΑς ΚΑΙ ΣΤΟΜΑ ΠΡΟς ΣΤΟΜΑ ΛΑΛΗΣΑΙ ΙΝΑ Η ΧΑΡΑ ΥΜΩΝ ΠΕΠΛΗΡΩΜΕΝΗ Η
13  The children <5043> of thy <4675> elect <1588> sister <79> greet <782> (5736) thee <4571>. Amen <281>.13  ΑΣΠΑΖΕΤΑΙ ΣΕ ΤΑ ΤΕΚΝΑ ΤΗς ΑΔΕΛΦΗς ΣΟΥ ΤΗς ΕΚΛΕΚΤΗς
