1 GLT اَلشَّيْخُ، إِلَى كِيرِيَّةَ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةِ، وَإِلَى أَوْلَادِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَنَا أُحِبُّهُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ، وَلَسْتُ أَنَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا جَمِيعُ ٱلَّذِينَ قَدْ عَرَفُوا ٱلْحَقَّ. BSB BSB: 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 GLT مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي يَثْبُتُ فِينَا وَسَيَكُونُ مَعَنَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ: BSB BSB: because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
3 GLT تَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ نِعْمَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ وَمِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱبْنِ ٱلْآبِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْمَحَبَّةِ. BSB BSB: 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.
4 GLT فَرِحْتُ جِدًّا لِأَنِّي وَجَدْتُ مِنْ أَوْلَادِكِ بَعْضًا سَالِكِينَ فِي ٱلْحَقِّ، كَمَا أَخَذْنَا وَصِيَّةً مِنَ ٱلْآبِ. BSB BSB: I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father has commanded us.
5 GLT وَٱلْآنَ أَطْلُبُ مِنْكِ يَا كِيرِيَّةُ، لَا كَأَنِّي أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكِ وَصِيَّةً جَدِيدَةً، بَلِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ: أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا. BSB BSB: 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 GLT وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ: أَنْ نَسْلُكَ بِحَسَبِ وَصَايَاهُ. هَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ: كَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ مِنَ ٱلْبَدْءِ أَنْ تَسْلُكُوا فِيهَا. BSB BSB: 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.
7 GLT لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ دَخَلَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ مُضِلُّونَ كَثِيرُونَ، لَا يَعْتَرِفُونَ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ آتِيًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ. هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْمُضِلُّ، وَٱلضِّدُّ لِلْمَسِيحِ. BSB BSB: 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 GLT ٱنْظُرُوا إِلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ لِئَلَّا نُضَيِّعَ مَا عَمِلْنَاهُ، بَلْ نَنَالَ أَجْرًا تَامًّا. BSB BSB: Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
9 GLT كُلُّ مَنْ تَعَدَّى وَلَمْ يَثْبُتْ فِي تَعْلِيمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱللهُ. وَمَنْ يَثْبُتْ فِي تَعْلِيمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فَهَذَا لَهُ ٱلْآبُ وَٱلِٱبْنُ جَمِيعًا. BSB BSB: 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 GLT إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَأْتِيكُمْ، وَلَا يَجِيءُ بِهَذَا ٱلتَّعْلِيمِ، فَلَا تَقْبَلُوهُ فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ، وَلَا تَقُولُوا لَهُ سَلَامٌ. BSB BSB: If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
11 GLT لِأَنَّ مَنْ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ يَشْتَرِكُ فِي أَعْمَالِهِ ٱلشِّرِّيرَةِ. BSB BSB: Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.
12 GLT إِذْ كَانَ لِي كَثِيرٌ لِأَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ، لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِوَرَقٍ وَحِبْرٍ، لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ آتِيَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَتَكَلَّمَ فَمًا لِفَمٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ فَرَحُنَا كَامِلًا. BSB BSB: 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, so that our joy may be complete.
13 GLT يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكِ أَوْلَادُ أُخْتِكِ ٱلْمُخْتَارَةِ. آمِينَ. BSB BSB: The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
