3 John 1:12  Jude 1:19

12 To 1Demetrius atestimony has been borne by 2all and by the 3truth itself; and 4we also testify, and you know that our testimony is 5btrue.

13 I had amany things to write to you, but I do not want to write to you with ink and pen;

14 But I 1ahope to see you shortly, and we will speak 2face to face. Peace to you. The bfriends greet you. Greet the friends by cname.

 

1 1Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of 1James, to those who are acalled, bbeloved in God the Father, and ckept 2by Jesus Christ:

2 1aMercy to you and bpeace and clove be multiplied.

3 Beloved, while using all diligence to write to you concerning our 1common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you and exhort you to earnestly 2acontend for the 3faith once for all delivered to the bsaints.

4 1For certain men have 2acrept in unnoticed, who of old have been 3written of beforehand for 4this judgment, bungodly men, 5perverting the cgrace of our God into 6dlicentiousness and 5edenying 7our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

5 But I intend to aremind you, though you know all things once for all, that 1the Lord, having saved a people bout of the land of Egypt, 2afterward 3cdestroyed those who did not believe;

6 And aangels who did not keep their own 1principality but abandoned their 2own dwelling place, He has kept in eternal bbonds under 3gloom for the 4cjudgment of the great day;

7 How aSodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who 1in like manner with these gave themselves over to fornication and went after bdifferent flesh, are set forth as an cexample, undergoing the dpenalty of eternal fire.

8 Nevertheless in like manner 1these dreamers also adefile the flesh and despise 2lordship and revile 3dignities.

9 But 1aMichael the barchangel, when he contended with the cdevil and disputed concerning the 2body of Moses, 3did not dare to bring a dreviling judgment against him but said, The Lord erebuke you.

10 But 1these revile the things that they do not 2know; and the things that they 2understand 3naturally, like 4aanimals 5without reason, 6in these they are being 7corrupted.

11 aWoe to them! For they have gone in the 1way of bCain and have 2rushed out in the 3error of cBalaam for reward and have 4dperished in the 5rebellion of Korah.

12 These are the 1hidden reefs in your 2love feasts, afeasting together with you without fear, 3bshepherding themselves; 4cwaterless clouds being carried off by dwinds; 5autumn trees ewithout fruit, having died twice, frooted up;

13 1Wild awaves of the sea, foaming out their own bshames; 2wandering stars, for whom the cgloom of darkness is kept for eternity.

14 And aEnoch, the seventh from Adam, bprophesied also of these, saying, Behold, the Lord 1ccame 2with 3myriads of His saints

15 To execute 1judgment against all and to convict all the aungodly concerning all their ungodly works which they have done in ungodliness, and concerning all the hard things which ungodly sinners have bspoken against Him.

16 These are amurmurers, complainers, going on according to their own blusts; and their mouth speaks cgreat swelling things, dflattering 1persons for the sake of eadvantage.

17 But you, beloved, aremember the words spoken before by the bapostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

18 That they said to you, In the 1alast time there will be bmockers, going on according to their own clusts for dungodliness.

19 These are those who make adivisions, 1bsoulish, having no 2spirit.

2 John 1:3  3 John 1:11

3 aGrace, mercy, bpeace will be with 1us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in 2truth and love.

4 I 1rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children awalking in 2truth, even as we received 3bcommandment from the Father.

5 And now I ask you, lady, not as writing a anew commandment to you but 1that which we have had 2from the beginning, that we blove one another.

6 And this is alove, that we bwalk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you walk in 1love.

7 For many 1deceivers awent out into the world, those who 2do bnot confess Jesus Christ coming 3in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the 4antichrist.

8 1aLook to yourselves that you do not 2lose the 3things which we wrought, but that you may receive a full 4reward.

9 Everyone who 1goes beyond and does not abide in the 2teaching of Christ does anot have God; he who abides in the teaching, he 3has both the Father and the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you and does anot 1bring this teaching, do bnot receive 2him into your house, and do not say to him, 3Rejoice!

11 For he who says to him, Rejoice, ashares in his 1evil works.

12 Though I have amany things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I am 1bhoping to be with you and to speak 2face to face that 3our cjoy may be made full.

13 The 1children of your achosen 2sister greet you.

 

1 The 1elder to 2Gaius the abeloved, whom I blove in 3ctruthfulness.

2 Beloved, concerning 1all things I 2wish that you may 3prosper and be in 4health, even as your 5soul 3prospers.

3 For I 1rejoiced greatly at the brothers’ coming and atestifying to 2your steadfastness in the truth, even as you 3walk in 4truth.

4 I have no greater joy than these things, that I hear that my achildren are walking in the btruth.

5 aBeloved, you do bfaithfully in 1whatever you have wrought for the brothers, and this for 2cstrangers,

6 Who atestified to your 1love before the 2church; whom you 3will do well to bsend forward in a manner 4cworthy of God;

7 For on behalf of the 1aName they went out, taking nothing from the 2Gentiles.

8 We therefore ought to 1support such ones that we may become afellow workers in the 2truth.

9 I wrote something to the 1church; but 2Diotrephes, who loves 3to be afirst among them, does not 4receive us.

10 For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, 1babbling against us with 2evil words; and not being satisfied with these, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those intending to do so he forbids and acasts out of the church.

11 Beloved, do not aimitate the 1bevil, but the good. He who 2does cgood is 3of God; he who 4does evil has 5dnot seen God.
