📚 About this Book

✦ Chapter Overview

Second John 1 is a brief letter from the elder to the elect lady and her children, whom he loves in the truth along with all who know the truth, for the truth's sake that abides in them forever. He greets them with grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, and rejoices that he found some of her children walking in truth according to the Father's command. The chapter closes with the elder urging her to watch for deceivers who do not confess Jesus Christ come in the flesh, warning not to receive such into her house or bid them God speed lest she share in their evil deeds, and expressing his hope to come and speak face to face that their joy may be full, with the greetings of her elect sister.
