¹ The elder to the electe lady and her chyldren which I love in the trueth: and not I only but also all that have knowe the trueth² for the truthes sake which dwelleth in vs and shalbe in vs for ever.³ With you be grace mercy and peace from God ye father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ the sonne of the father in trueth and love.⁴ I reioysed greatly that I founde of thy chyldre walkinge in trouth as we have receaved a commaundement of the father.

⁵ And nowe beseche I the lady not as though I wrote a newe commaundement vnto the but that same which we had fro the begynninge that we shuld love one another.⁶ And this is the love that we shulde walke after his commaundementes.This commaundement is (that as ye have hearde from the begynninge) ye shuld walke in it.

⁷ For many deceavers are entred in to the worlde which confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesshe. This is a deceaver and an Antichrist.⁸ Loke on youre selves that we loose not that we have wrought: but that we maye have a full rewarde.⁹ Whosoever transgresseth and bydeth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He yt endureth in the doctrine of Christ hath bothe the father and the sonne.

¹⁰ Yf ther come eny vnto you and bringe not this learninge him receave not to housse: nether bid him God spede.¹¹ For he that biddeth him God spede is parttaker of his evyll dedes.

¹² I had many thinges to wryte vnto you neverthelesse I wolde not wryte with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you and speake with you mouth to mouth that oure ioye maye be full.¹³ The sonnes of thy electe syster grete the. Amen.
