Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Berean Standard Bible
1Senior Electæ dominæ, et natis ejus, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes qui cognoverunt veritatem,
1The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
2propter veritatem, quæ permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in æternum.
2because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
3Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Jesu Filio Patris in veritate, et caritate.
3Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.
4Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
4I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5Et nunc rogo te domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.
5And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
6Et hæc est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata ejus. Hoc est enim mandatum, ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio, in eo ambuletis.
6And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.
7Quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Jesum Christum venisse in carnem: hic est seductor, et antichristus.
7For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quæ operati estis: sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
8Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9Omnis qui recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet: qui permanet in doctrina, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.
9Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec Ave ei dixeritis.
10If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11Qui enim dicit illi Ave, communicat operibus ejus malignis.
11Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12Plura habens vobis scribere, nolui per cartam et atramentum: spero enim me futurum apud vos, et os ad os loqui: ut gaudium vestrum plenum sit.
12I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
13Salutant te filii sororis tuæ Electæ.
13The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
