(3 John 1:1–4)
1
THE ELDER to the elect Lady, and her children, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I onely, but also all that haue knowen the trueth,
2
For the trueths sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe with vs for euer:
3
Grace be with you, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ the Sonne of the Father, with trueth and loue.

Walking in the Truth

(John 8:30–47)
4
I reioyced greatly, that I founde of thy children walking in trueth, as we haue receiued a commandement of the Father.
5
And nowe beseeche I thee, Lady, (not as writing a newe commandement vnto thee, but that same which we had from the beginning) that we loue one another.
6
And this is that loue, that we should walke after his commandements. This commandement is, that as ye haue heard from the beginning, ye should walke in it.

Beware of Deceivers

7
For many deceiuers are entred into this worlde, which confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. He that is such one, is a deceiuer and an Antichrist.
8
Looke to your selues, that we lose not the things which we haue done, but that we may receiue full reward.
9
Whosoeuer transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.
10
If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not to house, neither bid him, God speede:
11
For he that biddeth him, God speede, is partaker of his euill deedes. Although I had many things to write vnto you, yet I woulde not write with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, and speake mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full.

Conclusion

(3 John 1:13–14)
12
The sonnes of thine elect sister greete thee, Amen.
(3 John 1:1–4)
1
The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth,
2
for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:
3
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ,(a) the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Walking in the Truth

(John 8:30–47)
4
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5
Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6
This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

Beware of Deceivers

7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who don’t confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.
8
Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
9
Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10
If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
11
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.

Conclusion

(3 John 1:13–14)
12
Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
13
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
