The seconde epistle of Saynct John.
- The elder to the electe lady and her chyldren which I love in the trueth: and not I only but also all that have knowe the trueth
- for the truthes sake which dwelleth in vs and shalbe in vs for ever.
- With you be grace mercy and peace from God ye father and from the Lorde Jesus Christ the sonne of the father in trueth and love.
- I reioysed greatly that I founde of thy chyldre walkinge in trouth as we have receaved a commaundement of the father.
- And nowe beseche I the lady not as though I wrote a newe commaundement vnto the but that same which we had fro the begynninge that we shuld love one another.
- And this is the love that we shulde walke after his commaundementes.This commaundement is (that as ye have hearde from the begynninge) ye shuld walke in it.
- For many deceavers are entred in to the worlde which confesse not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesshe. This is a deceaver and an Antichrist.
- Loke on youre selves that we loose not that we have wrought: but that we maye have a full rewarde.
- Whosoever transgresseth and bydeth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He yt endureth in the doctrine of Christ hath bothe the father and the sonne.
- Yf ther come eny vnto you and bringe not this learninge him receave not to housse: nether bid him God spede.
- For he that biddeth him God spede is parttaker of his evyll dedes.
- I had many thinges to wryte vnto you neverthelesse I wolde not wryte with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you and speake with you mouth to mouth that oure ioye maye be full.
- The sonnes of thy electe syster grete the. Amen.
