2 John 1:4

2 John 1:4

2 because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

3 ^aGrace, mercy, and peace will be with¹ you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Walk in Christ’s Commandments

4 I ^arejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: ^athat we love one another.

6 ^aThis is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that ^bas you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

Beware of Antichrist Deceivers

7 For ^amany deceivers have gone out into the world ^bwho do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. ^cThis is a deceiver and an antichrist.

8 ^aLook to yourselves, ^bthat we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
