[00:00:01] 2 John. The elder, to the chosen lady and her children who might love in the truth and not I alone but also all who know the truth because of the truth that abides in us and will be with
[00:00:14] us forever. Grace mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father will be with us in truth and love. I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking
[00:00:25] in the truth just as the Father has commanded us and now I urge you dear lady not as a new commandment to you but one we have had from the beginning that we love one
[00:00:35] another. And this is love that we walk according to his commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning that you must walk in love. For many deceivers have gone out into the world refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.
[00:00:51] Many such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch yourselves so that you do not lose what we have worked for but that you may be fully rewarded. Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God, whoever remains in his
[00:01:07] teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching do not receive him into your home or even greet him, whoever greets such a person
[00:01:19] shares in his evil deeds. I have many things to write to you but I would prefer not to do so with paper ending. Instead I hope to come and speak with you face-to-face so that our joy may be complete. The children of your relaxed sister send you greetings.
