2 Juan
La Palabra (España)
Saludo
1 El Anciano a la Señora elegida por Dios y a sus hijos a quienes amo conforme a la verdad; y no solamente yo, sino todos cuantos han conocido la verdad. 2 Compartimos, en efecto, la verdad que permanece en nosotros y nos acompañará siempre. 3 Que la gracia, la misericordia y la paz de Dios Padre y de Jesucristo, el Hijo del Padre, estén con nosotros, junto con la verdad y el amor.
Vida en el amor y la verdad
4 Me he alegrado sobremanera al comprobar que bastantes de tus hijos viven conforme a la verdad según el mandamiento del Padre. 5 Ahora, Señora, te ruego que nos amemos unos a otros, no como si te escribiera sobre un mandamiento nuevo, sino sobre el que tenemos desde el principio. 6 Y como amar significa cumplir los mandamientos del Señor, vivid conforme al mandamiento del amor, tal como se os enseñó desde el principio.
7 Entre vosotros andan muchos embaucadores que no quieren reconocer a Jesucristo como verdadero hombre; a ellos pertenece el seductor y el anticristo. 8 Estad, pues, alerta para que no echéis a perder el fruto de vuestro esfuerzo y recibáis completa vuestra paga. 9 Quien se descarría y no permanece fiel a la enseñanza de Cristo, no tiene a Dios. Pero quien permanece fiel a esa enseñanza, tiene al Padre y al Hijo. 10 No ofrezcáis vuestra casa, y ni siquiera saludéis, al que acuda a vosotros sin llevar el aval de esta enseñanza; 11 saludarlo equivale a hacerse cómplice del mal que está causando.
Despedida
12 Tendría muchas más cosas que escribiros, pero no quiero hacerlo utilizando papel y tinta. Espero encontrarme pronto entre vosotros y hablaros personalmente para que vuestra alegría sea completa. 13 Te saludan los hijos de tu hermana, que también ha sido elegida por Dios.
2 John
New International Version
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
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.
