Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 John 1
⁵ Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
⁶ And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
⁸ Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.
⁹ Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;
¹¹ for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.
¹² Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full.
¹³ The children of your chosen sister greet you.
3 John 1
¹ The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
² Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.
