2nd John
Note that the Greek is referred to occasionally.
Throughout the O.T. & Gospels all words highlighted:
- in medium blue were said by GOD the FATHER;
- in apricot were from GOD the Son (Jesus Christ);
- in light purple were from GOD the Holy Spirit.
Also you will see words scripted in blue; this also is a carry-over from the O.T.-- throughout this work all words scripted in blue are words either in prayer or addressing the Godhead.
And all enlarged words are prophecies from the O.T.
- The symbol {
XX #.} after a word/phrase means that word/phrase is given in Greek on page XX (2ndJoh)-- scroll down (if necessary) to that #; - the symbol
means the Greek is the same as for the same word recently covered; - the symbol
means the word does not exist in Greek.

Written by the apostle John (in addition to the Gospel of John); note that these 4 later books by John (1st-3rdJoh & Reve) were the only books written after Rome was destroyed-- all the books after the Gospels are listed/described on the HOMEPAGE
Salutation: To the chosen lady & Her children, whom I love in the truth{
XX 2.}-- & not I only, but also all who know the truth --because of the truth, which lives in Us forever: Grace, mercy & peace from GOD the FATHER & from Jesus Christ, the FATHER's SON, will be with Us in truth & love.
It has given Me great joy to find some of Your children walking in the truth{
XX 3.}, just as the FATHER commanded Us. And now, dear lady, I am not writing You a new command but 1 We had from the beginning. I ask that We love{
XX 1.} 1 another. And this is love: that We walk in obedience to HIS Commands. As You have heard from the beginning, HIS Command is that You walk in love. Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver & the antichrist. Watch out that You do not lose what You have worked for, but that You be rewarded fully. What 1st was freely received was salvation & God's love; what you have worked for was God's fellowship (with the bride) & love extended (to the body) through you-- given to others after they already had received God' love (this is your treasure laid up in Heaven)! Anyone who runs ahead of the pack, supposing to give God's love, & does not continue in the teaching of Christ that God's love can only 1st be given freely by HIM does not have GOD completely; whoever continues in the teaching that 1st God's love is 1st given freely to you (followed by your love to the bride/body) has both the FATHER & the SON. If anyone comes to You & does not bring this teaching, do not take him into Your house or even welcome him. Any who welcomes him welcomes depravity & shares in his wicked work. I have much to write to You, but then I don't want to use paper & ink. Instead, I hope to visit You & talk with You face to face, so that together Our joy may be complete. HE 1st chose you; then you chose: The children of Your chosen sister send Their greetings{
