The Second Letter of John
CHAPTER 1
2 John 1:1
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth;
and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 2 John 1:2
2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 2
John 1:3
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 1:4
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have
received a commandment from the Father. 2 John 1:5
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto
thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 2
John 1:6
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the
commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
2 John 1:7
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 1:8
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but
that we receive a full reward.
2 John 1:9
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not
God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and
the Son.
2 John 1:10
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not
into your house, neither bid him God speed: 2 John 1:11
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 2 John 1:12
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink:
but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
2 John 1:13
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. 3 John
The Third Letter of
John
CHAPTER 1
3 John 1:1
1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 3 John 1:2
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:3
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth
that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 3 John 1:4
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1:5
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to
strangers;
3 John 1:6
6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou
bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 3 John
1:7
7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the
Gentiles.
3 John 1:8
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the
truth.
3 John 1:9
9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence
among them, receiveth us not. 3 John 1:10
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating
against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he
himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them
out of the church.
3 John 1:11
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that
doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. 3 John 1:12
12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we
also bear record; and ye know that our record is true. 3 John 1:13
13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
3 John 1:14
14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face.
Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name. Jude
The Letter of
Jude
CHAPTER 1
Jude 1:1
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are
sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Jude
1:2
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Jude 1:3
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye
should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints.
Jude 1:4
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained
to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:5
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that
the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward
destroyed them that believed not.
Jude 1:6
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the
judgment of the great day.
Jude 1:7
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth
for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:8
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and
speak evil of dignities.
Jude 1:9
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about
the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but
said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Jude 1:10
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they
know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Jude 1:11
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily
after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Jude 1:12
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you,
feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about
of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up
by the roots;
Jude 1:13
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to
whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. Jude 1:14
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold,
the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, Jude 1:15
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among
them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all
their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 1:16
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their
mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration
because of advantage.
Jude 1:17
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jude 1:18
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should
walk after their own ungodly lusts. Jude 1:19
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. Jude
1:20
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in
the Holy Ghost,
Jude 1:21
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus
Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:22
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: Jude 1:23
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the
garment spotted by the flesh.
Jude 1:24
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you
faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Jude 1:25
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power,
both now and ever. Amen.
