2 John -Seconda lettera di Giovanni 1

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ο πρεσβυτερος προς την εκλεκτην κυριαν και προς τα τεκνα αυτης, τους οποιους εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια, και ουχι εγω μονος, αλλα και παντες οι γνωρισαντες την αληθειαν,	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,
2 δια την αληθειαν, ητις μενει εν ημιν και θελει εισθαι μεθ' ημων εις τον αιωνα?	2 because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity.
3 ειη μεθ' υμων χαρις, ελεος, ειρηνη παρα Θεου Πατρος και παρα Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου του Υιου του Πατρος, εν αληθεια και αγαπη.	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.
4 Εχαρην κατα πολλα οτι ευρηκα εκ των τεκνων σου τινας περιπατουντας εν τη αληθεια, καθως εντολην ελαβομεν παρα του Πατρος.	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.
5 Και τωρα σε παρακαλω, κυρια, ουχι ως γραφων προς σε εντολην νεαν, αλλ' εκεινην την οποιαν ειχομεν απ' αρχης, να αγαπωμεν αλληλους.	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.
6 Και αυτη ειναι η αγαπη, να περιπατωμεν κατα τας εντολας αυτου. Αυτη ειναι η εντολη, καθως ηκουσατε απ' αρχης, να περιπατητε εις αυτην.	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.
7 Διοτι πολλοι πλανοι εισηλθον εις τον κοσμον, οιτινες δεν ομολογουσιν οτι ο Ιησους Χριστος ηλθεν εν σαρκι? ο τοιουτος ειναι ο πλανος και ο αντιχριστος.	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.
8 Προσεχετε εις εαυτους, δια να μη χασωμεν εκεινα, τα οποια ειργασθημεν, αλλα να απολαβωμεν πληρη τον μισθον.	8 Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.
9 Πας οστις παραβαινει και δεν μενει εν τη διδαχη του Χριστου Θεον δεν εχει? ο μενων εν τη διδαχη του Χριστου, ουτος εχει και τον Πατερα και τον Υιον.	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.
10 Εαν τις ερχηται προς εσας και δεν φερη την διδαχην ταυτην, μη δεχεσθε αυτον εις οικιαν και μη λεγετε εις αυτον το χαιρειν?	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.
11 διοτι ο λεγων εις αυτον το χαιρειν γινεται κοινωνος εις τα πονηρα αυτου εργα.	11 For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.
12 Αν και ειχον πολλα να σας γραψω, δεν ηθελησα δια χαρτου και μελανης, αλλ' ελπιζω να ελθω προς εσας και να λαλησω στομα προς στομα, δια να ηναι πληρης η χαρα ημων.	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.
13 Σε ασπαζονται τα τεκνα της αδελφης σου της εκλεκτης? αμην.	13 The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.
