Beware of Deceivers, Who Don't Confess Jesus Christ Has Come in the Flesh |
2 John:1-13 The 2nd Epistle, [a.k.a. Letter,] of John [in Smaller Chunks] |
[To:] the elder lady, elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] & her children, whom I love [through] the Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to [Thomas,] I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man [come] to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
And not only I [love her,] but also all [those, who] have known the Truth. For the Truth's sake, [Who dwells, a.k.a. lives, within] us, & shall be with us forever. Grace, mercy, & peace, from God the Father, & from the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, be with you in Truth & love. [Romans 1:12 To all, beloved of God, called to be saints, [who are] in Rome, Grace, & peace [be] to you, from God our Father, & the Lord, Jesus Christ.] |
I greatly rejoiced that I found [those] of your children walking, [a.k.a. following,] in the Truth, [like] we, [who] have received a commandment from the Father. And now, lady, I [urge] you, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that [commandment,] that we love one another, which we had from the beginning. [John 15:10-12 If you keep My commandments, you shall abide, [a.k.a. remain,] in My love. Even [like] I have kept My Father's commandments, & [remain] in His love. I have spoken these things to you, [so] that My joy might remain in you, & that your joy might be full, [a.k.a. fulfilled.] This is My commandment, That you love one another, [like] I have loved you.] |
And this is love: that we walk, [a.k.a. follow, according to] His commandments. [Like] you have heard from the beginning, This is That commandment, & you should [follow] in it. |
For many deceivers [have] entered into the world, who [don't] confess that Jesus Christ [has] come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, & an antichrist. [1 John 2:18-19 Little children, [a.k.a. inexperienced Christians,] it is the last time, [a.k.a. end times.] And [like] you have heard, that antichrist shall come, & even now there are many antichrists, [by which] we know that it is the [end times.] They went out from us, but they weren't of, [a.k.a. among,] us. For if they had been [among] us [believers in Jesus Christ,] no doubt, they would have continued with us. But they went out, [so] that they might [make] manifest, [a.k.a. apparent,] that they weren't of us all.] |
Look [after] yourselves, [so] that we [don't] lose those things, which we have [accomplished.] [Mark 13:10-13 And the Gospel must first be published, [a.k.a. proclaimed,] among all nations. But when they shall lead you, & deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what you shall [say,] & neither [are] you [to] premeditate, [a.k.a. pre-plan.] You speak [whatever] shall be given [to] you in that hour. For it isn't you, [who speaks,] but the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit.] Now, the brother shall betray the brother to death, & the father [shall betray] the son. And children shall rise up against their parents, & shall cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated [by] all men for My Name's sake. But he, [who] shall endure [until] the end, the same shall be saved.] |
But that we receive a full reward. [Revelation 3:5 He, [who overcomes,] the same [person] shall be clothed in white [clothing.] And I won't blot out his name [from] the Book of Life, but I will confess his name [in front of] My Father, & before His Angels.] |
[Whoever sins,] & [doesn't abide, a.k.a. remain,] in the doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching,] of Christ, [doesn't have] God. [Mark 7:6-7 [Jesus] answered & said to them, [Isaiah has] prophesied well of you hypocrites. [Like] it is written [in the Scriptures,] This people [honor] Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. [However,] they worship Me in vain, teaching the commandments of men, for doctrines.] |
He, [has] both the Father & the Son, he, [who] abides, [a.k.a. remains,] in the doctrine of Christ. [John 8:29-32 And He, [Who] sent Me is with Me. The Father [hasn't] left Me alone. For I always do those things that please Him. As [Jesus spoke] these Words, many believed [in] Him. Then, Jesus said to those Jews, [who] believed [in] Him, If you continue in My Word, then you are indeed My disciples. And you shall know the Truth, & the Truth shall make you free.] |
If any come there to you, & [don't] bring this doctrine, [don't] receive, [a.k.a. welcome,] him into your house, & neither bid him: God speed. [Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, [who] come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are [ravenous] wolves.] |
For he, [who bids] him God speed, is a [participant in] his evil deeds. [Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole [armor] of God, [so] that you may be able to stand [up] against the wiles, [a.k.a. tricks,] of the devil. For we don't] wrestle against flesh & blood, but against: principalities; powers; rulers of the [world's] darkness, & against spiritual wickedness in high places.] |
[I] [have] [too] many things to write to you, [that] I won't write with paper & ink. But I trust to come to you, & speak face to face, [so] that joy may be full, [a.k.a. fulfileld.] The children, [a.k.a. new believers,] of your [chosen] sister, [greets] you. Amen. |
