- Kapitel 1 -

(3 John 1:1–4)
1
The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I alone, but also all who know the truth—
2
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
3
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, will be with us in truth and love.

Walking in the Truth

(John 8:30–47)
4
I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5
And now I urge you, dear lady—not as a new commandment to you, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another.
6
And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the very commandment you have heard from the beginning, that you must walk in love.

Beware of Deceivers

7
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8
Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for,(a) but that you may be fully rewarded.
9
Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
10
If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11
Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.

Conclusion

(3 John 1:13–14)
12
I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you face to face,(b) so that our joy may be complete.
13
The children of your elect sister send you greetings.(c)

(3 John 1:1–4)
1
The 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,
2
for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:
3
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ,(a) the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Walking in the Truth

(John 8:30–47)
4
I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5
Now 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.
6
This 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.

Beware of Deceivers

7
For 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.
8
Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.
9
Whoever 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.
10
If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
11
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.

Conclusion

(3 John 1:13–14)
12
Having 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.
13
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
