Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Senior Electæ dominæ, et natis ejus, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes qui cognoverunt veritatem,
1The 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;
2propter veritatem, quæ permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in æternum.
2For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Jesu Filio Patris in veritate, et caritate.
3Grace 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.
4Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5Et nunc rogo te domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.
5And 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.
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 after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7Quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Jesum Christum venisse in carnem: hic est seductor, et antichristus.
7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quæ operati estis: sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9Omnis qui recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet: qui permanet in doctrina, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.
9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath 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 there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11Qui enim dicit illi Ave, communicat operibus ejus malignis.
11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of 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.
12Having 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.
13Salutant te filii sororis tuæ Electæ.
13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
