1:1 The Elder to The Elect lady and her children, those whom I love in the truth, but it is not I only, but also all those who know the truth,
1:2 Because of the truth which dwells in us and is with us for eternity.
1:3 May grace, mercy and peace be with us, from God The Father and from Our Lord, Yeshua The Messiah, The Son of The Father, in truth and in love.
1:4 I rejoiced much when I found some of your children walking in truth, according to the commandment which we have received from The Father.
1:5 And now I would persuade you Lady, not according to the new commandment I wrote to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
1:6 And this is love, that we walk according to his commandment; this commandment is according to what you have heard from the beginning, in which you have been walking.
1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Yeshua The Messiah has come in the flesh; such a person is a deceiver and antichrist.
1:8 Pay attention to your souls, that you do not lose anything which you have cultivated, but that you may receive a full reward.
1:9 No one who is a violator and does not continue in the teaching of The Messiah has God in him. He who continues in his teaching, this one has The Father and The Son.
1:10 If a man comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into the house and you shall not say to him, “You are welcome.”
1:11 For he that says to him, “You are welcome”, is a partaker with his evil deeds.
1:12 As I had much to write to you, I did not want to speak with parchment and ink, but I hope to come to you and we shall speak face-to-face, that our joy may be complete.
1:13 The children of your Elect sister invoke your peace. Amen.
