II Ioannis 1

Bibbia Vulgata Clementina	Douai-Rheims
¹ Senior Electæ dominæ, et natis ejus, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes qui cognoverunt 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, quæ permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in æternum.	² For the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
³ Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Jesu Filio Patris in veritate, et caritate.	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, sicut mandatum 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 mandatum novum 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 Et hæc est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata ejus. Hoc est enim mandatum, ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio, 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 exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Jesum Christum venisse in carnem : 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 Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quæ 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 recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet : qui permanet in doctrina, 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 ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere 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 ejus malignis.	¹¹ For he that saith unto him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works.
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.	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 tuæ Electæ.	¹³ The children of thy sister Elect salute thee.
