Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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,
1Senior Electæ dominæ, et natis ejus, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes qui cognoverunt veritatem,
2for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:
2propter veritatem, quæ permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in æternum.
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.
3Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Jesu Filio Patris in veritate, et caritate.
4I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
4Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre.
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.
5Et nunc rogo te domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum.
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.
6Et hæc est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata ejus. Hoc est enim mandatum, ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio, in eo ambuletis.
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.
7Quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Jesum Christum venisse in carnem: hic est seductor, et antichristus.
8Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
8Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quæ operati estis: sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis.
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.
9Omnis qui recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet: qui permanet in doctrina, hic et Patrem et Filium habet.
10If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
10Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec Ave ei dixeritis.
11for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
11Qui enim dicit illi Ave, communicat operibus ejus malignis.
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.
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.
13The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
13Salutant te filii sororis tuæ Electæ.
