Chapter 1

¹The elder to the elect lady and to her children, whom I love in truth. And it's not I alone but also all those who know the truth. ²Because of the truth that remains in us, and is remaining with us forever. ³May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the fatehr and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father in truth and love.

⁴I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as the command we received from the Father. ⁵And now I ask you, lady, not as though writing a new command to you, but one which we have had from the beginning, that we should love one another. ⁶And this is love, that we might walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you heard from the begninning, that you should walk in it. ⁷Because many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not testify taht Jesus Christ ahs come in the flesh. This is what it means to be deceiver and antichrist. ⁸Watch yourselves, that you don't ruin what we have accomplished, but might receive the full reward. ⁹Everyone who moves ahead and doesn't remain in the teachingof Christ doesn't have God. The one who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰If anyone comes to you and doesn't carry this teaching, don't receive him into your house. Don't greet him and say nothing to him. ¹¹For the one who greets him has fellowship with his evil deeds.

¹²I have many things to write but I do not wish to write them using letter and ink, but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy might be fulfilled. ¹³Our elect sister's children greet you!
