# Chapter 1
|
||||
1 This letter is from John, the elder.
|
||||
I am writing to the chosen lady and to her children, whom I love in the truth—as does everyone else who knows the truth—
|
||||
2 because the truth lives in us and will be with us forever.
|
||||
3 Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love.
|
||||
4 How happy I was to meet some of your children and find them living according to the truth, just as the Father commanded.
|
||||
5 I am writing to remind you, dear friends, that we should love one another. This is not a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning.
|
||||
6 Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.
|
||||
7 I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist.
|
||||
8 Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward.
|
||||
9 Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.
|
||||
10 If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don’t invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement.
|
||||
11 Anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work.
|
||||
12 I have much more to say to you, but I don’t want to do it with paper and ink. For I hope to visit you soon and talk with you face to face. Then our joy will be complete.
|
||||
13 Greetings from the children of your sister, chosen by God.
