![]() ![]() ![]() Now two weeks ago we began our studies of 2nd John, looking in introduction at some answers to certain questions that we asked of this little epistle that is really comprised of only one page of papyrus, which is the ancient paper that the apostle John would have written on. The children of thy elect sister greet thee. 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. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. ![]() For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. ![]() And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. 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. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 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. "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 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. You need to react appropriately to such heresies and to such heretics who bring this false doctrine ![]()
