Seconda lettera di Giovanni 1

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Presbyter electae dominae et filiis eius, quos ego diligo in veritate, etnon ego solus, sed et omnes, qui noverunt veritatem,	1 The ancient to the lady Elect, and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth,
2 propter veritatem, quaepermanet in nobis et nobiscum erit in sempiternum.	2 For the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3 Erit nobiscum gratia,misericordia, pax a Deo Patre et a Iesu Christo, Filio Patris, in veritate etcaritate.	3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus the Son of the Father; in truth and charity.
4 Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicutmandatum accepimus a Patre.	4 I was exceeding glad, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 Et nunc rogo te, domina, non tamquam mandatumnovum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.	5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 Ethaec est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata eius; hoc mandatum est,quemadmodum audistis ab initio, ut in eo ambuletis.	6 And this is charity, that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same:
7 Quoniam multi seductores prodierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur IesumChristum venientem in carne; hic est seductor et antichristus.	7 For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist.
8 Videtevosmetipsos, ne perdatis, quae operati estis, sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.	8 Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward.
9 Omnis, qui ultra procedit et non manet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet;qui permanet in doctri na, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.	9 Whosoever revolteth, and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son.
10 Si quis venit advos et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite accipere eum in domum nec “ Ave ”ei dixeritis;	10 If any man come to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him, God speed you.
11 qui enim dicit illi: “ Ave ”, communicat operibus illiusmalignis.	11 For he that saith unto him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works.
12 Plura habens vobis scribere, nolui per chartam et atramentum; spero enim mefuturum apud vos, et os ad os loqui, ut gaudium nostrum plenum sit.	12 Having more things to write unto you, I would not by paper and ink: for I hope that I shall be with you, and speak face to face: that your joy may be full.
13 Salutant te filii sororis tuae electae.	13 The children of thy sister Elect salute thee.
