2 Juan
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
1 Mula sa namumuno sa iglesya.
Mahal kong Ginang na pinili ng Dios, kasama ng iyong mga anak. Minamahal ko kayong tunay,[a] at hindi lang ako kundi ang lahat ng nakakakilala sa katotohanan. 2 Minamahal namin kayo dahil sa katotohanang nasa atin at mananatili sa atin magpakailanman.
3 Manatili sana sa atin ang biyaya, awa, at kapayapaang galing sa Dios Ama at sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo na kanyang Anak, habang namumuhay tayo sa katotohanan at pag-ibig.
Ang Katotohanan at Ang Pag-ibig
4 Labis ang kagalakan ko nang malaman ko na ang ilan sa mga anak mo ay sumusunod sa katotohanan, ayon sa iniutos sa atin ng Dios Ama. 5 Kaya Ginang, hinihiling ko sa iyo ngayon na magmahalan tayong lahat. Hindi ito isang panibagong utos kundi ito rin ang utos na ibinigay sa atin noong una tayong sumampalataya. 6 Makikita ang pag-ibig sa atin kung namumuhay tayo ayon sa mga utos ng Dios. At ang utos niya na narinig ninyo mula nang sumampalataya kayo ay ito: mamuhay tayo nang may pag-ibig.
7 Mahalaga ito, dahil marami nang nagkalat na manlilinlang sa mundo. Ito ang mga taong hindi kumikilala na si Jesu-Cristo ay naging tao. Silaʼy mga manlilinlang at anti-Cristo. 8 Mag-ingat kayo at nang hindi mawala ang inyong pinaghirapan, sa halip ay matanggap ninyo ang buong gantimpala.
9 Ang sinumang hindi sumusunod sa aral ni Cristo o nagtuturo pa ng labis dito ay hindi pinananahanan ng Dios. Ngunit ang sinumang sumusunod sa aral ni Cristo ay pinananahanan ng Ama at ng Anak. 10 Kung may dumating man sa inyo na iba ang ipinangangaral tungkol kay Cristo, huwag nʼyo siyang tanggapin sa inyong tahanan, ni huwag nʼyo siyang batiin nang may pagpapala. 11 Sapagkat ang sinumang bumati sa kanya ng ganoon ay nakikibahagi sa masasama niyang gawain.
12 Marami pa sana akong sasabihin sa inyo, ngunit hindi ko na lang isusulat. Sapagkat umaasa akong makakadalaw ako riyan at makakausap kayo nang personal, upang malubos ang ating kagalakan.
13 Kinukumusta ka ng mga anak ng kapatid mong babae, na tulad moʼy isa rin sa mga pinili ng Dios.

King James Version
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.
2 John
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 (A)The elder to the elect lady and her children, (B)whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who (C)know (D)the truth, 2 (E)because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
3 (F)Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.
Walking in Truth and Love
4 (G)I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. 5 And now I ask you, dear lady—(H)not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—(I)that we love one another. 6 And (J)this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just (K)as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. 7 For (L)many deceivers (M)have gone out into the world, (N)those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch yourselves, (O)so that you may not lose what we[a] have worked for, but (P)may win a full reward. 9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, (Q)does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching (R)has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, (S)do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him (T)takes part in his wicked works.
Final Greetings
12 (U)Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. (V)Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, (W)so that our joy may be complete.
13 The children of your elect sister greet you.
