| 1 1 | THE ELDER to the Lady chosen by God, and her children, whom I love in truth—and not I alone but all who know the truth— | Salutation 2Jn.1.1-3 | Ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἐκλεκτῇ κυρίᾳ καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῆς, οὓς ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγὼ μόνος ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐγνωκότες τὴν ἀλήθειαν, |
| 2 | for the sake of the truth that dwells among us and will be with us for ever. | διὰ τὴν ἀλήθειαν τὴν μένουσαν ἐν ἡμῖν, καὶ μεθ' ἡμῶν ἐσται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. | |
| 3 | Grace, mercy, and peace shall be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love. | ἐσται μεθ' ἡμῶν χάρις ἐλεος εἰρήνη παρὰ θεοῦ πατρός, καὶ παρὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ πατρός, ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἀγάπῃ. | |
