2 Iohn 1

1 He exhorteth a certain honourable matron, and her children, to persevere in Christian love and belief, 8 lest they lose the reward of their former profession: 10 and to have nothing to do with those seducers that bring not the true doctrine of Christ Jesus.

 1:1 ¶ The x3588 Elder 4245 vnto the elect 1588 Lady, 2959 and 2532 her y846 x848 children, 5043 whome 3739 I 1473 loue 25 z5719 in 1722 the trueth: 225 and 2532 not 3756 I 1473 onely, 3441 but 235 also 2532 all 3956 they that haue knowen 1097 z5761 ye x3588 trueth: 225

 1:2 For y1223 the trueths sake 225 x1223 x3588 which y3588 dwelleth 3306 z5723 in 1722 vs, 2254 and 2532 shalbe 2071 z5704 with 3326 vs 2257 for y1519 euer: 165 x1519

 1:3 Grace 5485 bee 2071 z5704 with 3326 you, 5216 mercie, 1656 and peace 1515 from 3844 God 2316 the Father, 3962 and 2532 from 3844 the Lord 2962 Iesus 2424 Christ, 5547 the x3588 Sonne 5207 of the x3588 Father 3962 in 1722 trueth 225 and 2532 loue. 26

 1:4 I reioyced 5463 z5644 greatly, 3029 that 3754 I found 2147 z5758 of 1537 thy 4675 children 5043 walking 4043 z5723 in 1722 trueth, 225 as 2531 wee haue receiued 2983 z5627 a commaundement 1785 from 3844 the x3588 Father. 3962

 1:5 And 2532 now, 3568 I beseech 2065 z5719 thee 4571 Lady, 2959 not 3756 as though 5613 I wrote 1125 z5719 z5625 z5723 a new 2537 commandement 1785 vnto thee: 4671 but 235 that which 3739 wee had 2192 z5707 from 575 the beginning, 746 that 2443 wee loue 25 z5725 one another. 240

 1:6 And 2532 this 3778 is 2076 z5748 loue, 26 that 2443 wee walke 4043 z5725 after 2596 his y846 x848 Commandements. 1785 This 3778 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 Commandement, 1785 that 2443 as 2531 yee haue heard 191 z5656 from 575 the beginning, 746 yee should walke 4043 z5725 in 1722 it. 846

 1:7 For 3754 many 4183 deceiuers 4108 are entred 1525 z5627 into 1519 the x3588 world, 2889 who y3588 confesse 3670 z5723 not 3361 that Iesus 2424 Christ 5547 is come 2064 z5740 in 1722 the flesh. 4561 This 3778 is 2076 z5748 a deceiuer, 4108 and 2532 an Antichrist. 500

 1:8 Looke y991 z5720 to x991 your selues, 1438 that y3363 z0 x2443 wee lose 622 z5661 not y3363 x3361 those things which 3739 wee haue wrought, 2038 z5662 but 235 that we receiue 618 z5632 a full 4134 reward. 3408

 1:9 Whosoeuer 3956 transgresseth 3845 z5723 and 2532 abideth 3306 z5723 not 3361 in 1722 the x3588 doctrine 1322 of Christ, 5547 hath 2192 z5719 not 3756 God: 2316 hee that abideth 3306 z5723 in 1722 the x3588 doctrine 1322 of Christ, 5547 he 3778 hath 2192 z5719 both 2532 the x3588 Father 3962 and 2532 the x3588 Sonne. 5207

 1:10 If y1536 z0 there come y2064 z5736 any 1536 y5100 x2064 vnto 4314 you, 5209 and 2532 bring 5342 z5719 not 3756 this 5026 doctrine, 1322 receiue 2983 z5720 him 846 not 3361 into 1519 your house, 3614 neither 2532 3361 bid 3004 z5720 him, 846 God speed. 5463 z5721

 1:11 For 1063 hee that biddeth 3004 z5723 him 846 God speed, 5463 z5721 is partaker 2841 z5719 of his y846 x848 euill 4190 deeds. 2041

 1:12 Hauing 2192 z5723 many things 4183 to write 1125 z5721 vnto you, 5213 I would 1014 z5675 not 3756 write with 1223 paper 5489 and 2532 inke, 3188 but 235 I trust 1679 z5719 to come 2064 z5629 vnto 4314 you, 5209 and 2532 speake 2980 z5658 face y4750 to y4314 face, 4750 x4314 that 2443 our 2257 ioy 5479 may be 5600 z5753 full. 4137 z5772

 1:13 The x3588 children 5043 of thy 4675 elect 1588 sister 79 greet 782 z5736 thee. 4571 Amen. 281
