her children, whom I love in truth;

ְלַבִדּי ִכּי ִאם־ַגּם ָכּל־ׂיְדֵעי ָהֱאֶמת׃ know the truth;
וּב ְלַמַען ָהֱאֶמת ָהׂעֶמֶדת ְבִּק ְרֵבּ 2 for the truth’s sake which abideth
in us, and it shall be with us for

ִיַאד ִכּי־ָמָצאִתי ִמָבּ

certain of thy children walking in
ִמְתַהְלִּכים ָבֱּאֶמת ַכִּמְּצָוה ֲאֶשׁר truth, even as we received
וּ ֵמֵאת ָהָאב׃ִקַבְּל commandment from the Father.
י ִמֵמּ ַה ְגִּבי ָרה ְוׂלאִה ְוַעָתּה ְמַבֵקּשׁ ֲא 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not
as though I wrote to thee a new
ְכּׂכֵתב ֵאַלִי ִמְצָוה ֲחָדָשׁה ִכּי ִאם־ֵאת commandment, but that which we
וּ ֵמׂראשׁ ְלַאֲהָבה ִאישֲׁאֶשׁר ָהְיָתה־ָלּ had from the beginning, that we
ֶאת־ ֵרֵעהוּ׃ love one another.
ְתַהֵלִּ ְוׂזאת ִהיא ָהַאֲהָבה ֲאֶשׁר ו 6 And this is love, that we should
walk after his commandments.
ְבִּמְצוָֹתיו ׂזאת ִהיא ַהִמְּצָוה ֲאֶשׁר This is the commandment, even as
ְשַׁמְעֶתּם ֵמׂראשׁ ְלִהְתַהֵלּ ָבּהּ׃ ye heard from the beginning, that
ye should walk in it.
ז ִכּי ַמְתִעים ַרִבּים ָבּאוּ ָלעוָֹלם ֲאֶשׁר 7 For many deceivers are gone forth
into the world, even they that
ם מוִֹדים ְבֵּישׁוַּע ַהָמִּשׁיַח ַהָבּאֵָאי confess not that Jesus Christ
ַבָבָּשׂר ֶזה הוּא ַהַמְּתֶעה ְושׂוֵֹטן cometh in the flesh. This is the
ַהָמִּשׁיַח׃ deceiver and the antichrist.
וּ ִכּיתאַבד ִמֶמּנּוּ ְפֻּעָלֵּתּׂ ח ִהָזֲּהרוּ ֶפּן־ 8 Look to yourselves, that ye lose not
the things which we have wrought,
וּ ְשֵׁלָמה׃ַקּח ַמְשֻׂכּ ְרֵתִִּאם־ but that ye receive a full reward.
נּוֶּט ָכּל־ָהׂעֵבר ַעל־תּוֹ ַרת ַהָמִּשׁיַח ְוֵאי 9 Whosoever goeth onward and
abideth not in the teaching of
ׂעֵמד ָבּהּ ֵאין לוֹ ֱאׂלִהים ְוָהׂעֵמד Christ, hath not God: he that
ְבּתוַֹרת ַהָמִּשׁיַח ֶישׁ־לוֹ ַגּם־ָהָאב abideth in the teaching, the same
ַגּם־ַהֵבּן׃ hath both the Father and the Son.
י ָכּל־ַהָבּא ֲאֵליֶכם ְוׂלא ָיִביא 10 If any one cometh unto you, and
bringeth not this teaching, receive
אתוֹ

ַהַבְּיָתה ְוׂלא ִתְשֲׁאלוּ־לוֹ ְלָשׁלוֹם׃ him no greeting:
שֵׁאל ִבְּשׁלוֹמוֹ ָחֵבר הוּא ְלַמֲעָשׂיו
ּׂ יא ִכּי ַה 11 for he that giveth him greeting
partaketh in his evil works.
ָה ָרִעים׃
תב ֲאֵליֶכם ְוׂלא

you, I would not write them with
ָיר וִּבְדיוֹ ִכּי ִאם־ֲאַקֶוּהְ ָחַפְצִתּי ִבּ paper and ink: but I hope to come
ָלבוֹא ֲאֵליֶכם וְּלַדֵבּר ֶפּה ֶאל־ֶפּה ְלַמַען unto you, and to speak face to

full.

salute thee.
