1THE presbyter to the elect Kuria and to her sons, whom I love in truth, nor I only, but all they who know the truth, 2on account of the truth which abideth in us, and is with us for ever; 3Grace be with you and mercy and peace, from Aloha the Father, and from Jeshu Meshiha the Son of the Father, in truth and in love. 4I have rejoiced much to have found of thy sons who walk in the truth, after the commandment we have received from the Father. 5And now I entreat thee, Kuria,-no new commandment writing to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning,-that we love one another. 6And this is love, that we walk according to the commandment; this commandment is according to that which you have heard from the beginning, that in it we should walk. 7Because many deceivers are come out into the world who confess not that Jeshu Meshiha came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and antichrist. 8Be watchful of yourselves, that not any thing perish which you have wrought; but (that with) a complete reward you may be recompensed. 9Every one who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of the Meshiha, hath not Aloha. He who abideth in his doctrine, this hath both the Father and the Son. 10If any one come to you, and this doctrine bring not, receive him not into the house, and "Joy to you," and " Farewell," say not to him. 11For he who saith to him, " Farewell," becometh a participator of his evil deeds. 12Though I have many things to write to you, I will not with parchment and ink; but I hope to come to you, and mouth with mouth to speak, that our joy may be complete. 13The sons of thy elect sister ask your peace. Grace be with you. Amen.
