2 John, 1

1. The Elder to the Elect Lady, and those born of her, whom I love in the truth: and not I alone, but also all those who have known the truth,

1. Starješina izabranoj Gospoði i djeci njezinoj koju ja ljubim u Istini - a ne samo ja nego i svi koji upoznaše Istinu -

2. because the truth which dwells in us shall be with us for eternity.

2. radi Istine koja ostaje u nama i bit æe s nama dovijeka.

3. May grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father, in truth and in love.

3. Bila s nama milost, milosrðe i mir od Boga Oca i od Sina Oèeva Isusa Krista u istini i ljubavi!

4. I was very glad because I discovered some of your sons walking in the truth, just as we received the commandment from the Father.

4. Obradovah se veoma što sam meðu tvojom djecom našao takve koji hode u istini, kao što primismo zapovijed od Oca.

5. And now I petition you, Lady, not as if writing a new commandment to you, but instead that commandment which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.

5. I sada te molim, Gospoðo, ne kao da ti novu zapovijed pišem, nego onu koju smo imali od poèetka: da ljubimo jedni druge.

6. And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that you have heard in the same way from the beginning, and in which you should walk.

6. A ovo je ta ljubav: da živimo po zapovijedima njegovim. To je zapovijed, kao što èuste od poèetka, da u njoj živite.

7. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has arrived in the flesh. Such a one as this is a deceiver and an antichrist.

7. Jer iziðoše na svijet mnogi zavodnici koji ne ispovijedaju Isusa Krista koji dolazi u tijelu. To je zavodnik i Antikrist.

8. Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.

8. Èuvajte se da ne izgubite što ste stekli, nego da primite potpunu plaæu.

9. Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.

9. Tko god pretjera i ne ostane u nauku Kristovu, nema Boga. Tko ostaje u nauku, ima i Oca i Sina.

10. If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not be willing to receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him.

10. Ako tko dolazi k vama i ne donosi tog nauka, ne primajte ga u kuæu i ne pozdravljajte ga.

11. For whoever speaks a greeting to him, is speaking with his evil works.

11. Jer tko ga pozdravlja, sudjeluje u njegovim zlim djelima.

12. I have much more to write to you, but I am not willing to do so through paper and ink. For I hope that I may be with you in the future, and that I may speak face to face, so that your joy may be full.

12. Mnogo bih vam imao pisati, ali ne htjedoh na papiru i crnilom, nego se nadam da æu doæi k vama i iz usta u usta govoriti da radost vaša bude potpuna.

13. The sons of your Elect Sister greet you.

13. Pozdravljaju te djeca tvoje izabrane sestre.

Fusnote:

1:4-6 - John expresses great joy when he sees some of the children in his community walking in the truth. Christian truth is the foundation of an authentic and faithful Christian life, reflecting the command to love one another (see also John 13:34-35 and 1 John 2:6).

1:7-9 - John warns against deceivers who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. The denial of the incarnation of Christ is a major heresy that undermines true Christian faith (see also 1 John 4:2-3 and 2 Corinthians 11:4).

1:10-11 - John instructs the community not to welcome into their homes those who do not bring the doctrine of Christ. Christian hospitality must be guided by truth, and fellowship with false teachings must be avoided (see also Titus 3:10-11 and 1 John 4:1).

01:12 - John expresses a desire to personally visit the recipients to teach them more about the truth. Personal visitation is an expression of Christian love and commitment to building up the Church (see also Acts 15:36 and 1 John 1:4).

01:13 - The final greeting of the chosen sister and her children is an expression of communion and unity in the Christian faith. The Church is called to be a community united in Christ, without divisions (see also Ephesians 4:1-6 and Colossians 1:18).
