1The 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,

2for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:

3Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ ⲕⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲛⲁⲥ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲁⲅⲁⲡⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
5Now 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.
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϩⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
6This 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.

7For 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.
8ⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲉⲭⲉ ⲉϥϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
8Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

9Whoever 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.
10ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣ⳿ⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲉⲣⲉ.
10If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
11ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲉⲣⲉ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ.
11for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.

12Having 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.

13The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
