1:7 |
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. |
because many leading astray did enter into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist. |

Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. |
See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive; |

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. |
every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and the Son; |
1:10 |
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: |
if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, `Hail!' |
1:11 |
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. |
for he who is saying to him, `Hail,' hath fellowship with his evil works. |

The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. |
salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen. |
