2 John 1

Catholic Public Domain Bible	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,	¹ Senior Electæ dominæ, et natis ejus, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes qui cognoverunt veritatem,
² because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity.	² propter veritatem, quæ permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in æternum.
³ May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.	³ Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Jesu Filio Patris in veritate, et caritate.
⁴ I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father.	⁴ Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
⁵ And now I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.	⁵ Et nunc rogo te domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.
⁶ And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.	⁶ Et hæc est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata ejus. Hoc est enim mandatum, ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio, in eo ambuletis.
⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.	⁷ Quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Jesum Christum venisse in carnem : hic est seductor, et antichristus.
⁸ Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.	⁸ Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quæ operati estis : sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
⁹ Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.	⁹ Omnis qui recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet : qui permanet in doctrina, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.
¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.	¹⁰ Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec Ave ei dixeritis.
¹¹ For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.	¹¹ Qui enim dicit illi Ave, communicat operibus ejus malignis.
¹² I have much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.	¹² Plura habens vobis scribere, nolui per cartam et atramentum : spero enim me futurum apud vos, et os ad os loqui : ut gaudium vestrum plenum sit.
¹³ The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.	¹³ Salutant te filii sororis tuæ Electæ.
