1 📜教会の長老からの手紙
神に選ばれし女性たち、またその子供たちへ ——【神に選ばれ、任命された教会の女性指導者、もしくは教会自体を指す。そして、その子供は教会に属する人々を指している】
私はみなさんのことを本当に愛している。私だけではない。最高な知らせという名の真理を信じる仲間たちも、みんなさんのことを愛している。 2 私たちの内にある真理、すなわちイエスが私たちの中に住んでいることで、私たちはみなさんのことを愛することができるのだ。この真理はいつまでも、永遠に私たちと共にある。
3 私は、みなさんに挨拶を送る。私たちが真理の中に生き、また愛の中に生きるなら、父である神と、そのひとり子であるイエス・キリストが恵みと、優しさと、そして平安を与えてくれることを知っている。
4 みなさんの中にお父さんの指示どおり、真理に従って歩んでいる子供たちがいることを知り、本当に嬉しく思っている。 5 さて、婦人よ。あなたにこれを伝えておきます。互いに愛し合ってください。この教えは新たに作られた教えではなく、そもそもずっと昔から、初めのころから存在した教えですから。 6 愛するとは、イエスの命令に喜んで歩む生き方だということです。この命令とは初めから聞かされたことであり、愛に生きるということなのです。
7 イエス・キリストが、人間となってこの世に来たことを否定する詐欺教師が世のあちこちで出現しています。彼らのようにこの真実をウソだという者は誰であれキリストの敵なのです。 8 注意していなさい！私たちが今までそのためにず～っと働いてきた報いを手放さないように！そして、その報いを全て受け取りなさい。
9 あなた達が今までに聞いたキリストについてのみを述べている教えを信じ、ついて行くのです。誰であれ勝手にそこに自分の教えを付け加えるのであれば、その人は神を持っていない。しかし、キリストについての教えに聞き従う者は、父とその息子を持っているのです。 10 あなたのもとに来る者の中でも、この教えを運んでこない者は、受け入れてはいけない。家に招くことなどせず、歓迎してもいけないのです！ 11 もし迎え入れるようなことがあれば、それは彼らの悪の働きをあなたが手助けしていることにもなります。
12 あなた達に伝えたいことは山ほどある。しかし、本当はインクと紙を使って手紙を書くことよりも、実際にあなた達のところに行って目を見て話をしたいのです。そんな日が来れば最高だ。 13 神によって選ばれたあなた達の姉妹の子供たちが、あなた達に愛を持ってよろしくと言っています。

1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
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.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 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.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

1 The elder,(A)
To the lady chosen by God(B) and to her children, whom I love in the truth(C)—and not I only, but also all who know the truth(D)— 2 because of the truth,(E) which lives in us(F) and will be with us forever:
3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ,(G) the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.
4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth,(H) just as the Father commanded us. 5 And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning.(I) I ask that we love one another. 6 And this is love:(J) that we walk in obedience to his commands.(K) As you have heard from the beginning,(L) his command is that you walk in love.
7 I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ(M) as coming in the flesh,(N) have gone out into the world.(O) Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.(P) 8 Watch out that you do not lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.(Q) 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ(R) does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.(S) 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.(T) 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares(U) in their wicked work.
12 I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face,(V) so that our joy may be complete.(W)
13 The children of your sister, who is chosen by God,(X) send their greetings.

Greeting the Elect Lady
1 The Elder,
To the [a]elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known (A)the truth, 2 because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
3 (B)Grace, mercy, and peace will be with [b]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 (C)rejoiced 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: (D)that we love one another. 6 (E)This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that (F)as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
Beware of Antichrist Deceivers
7 For (G)many deceivers have gone out into the world (H)who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. (I)This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 (J)Look to yourselves, (K)that [c]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 (L)Whoever [d]transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and (M)does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
John’s Farewell Greeting
12 (N)Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, (O)that our joy may be full.
13 (P)The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
