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
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.
