The  ¹elder to the chosen  ²lady and to her children, whom I love in  ³truthfulness, and not only I but also all  ⁴those who know the  ⁵truth,

 ¹For the sake of the  ²truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:

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

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

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

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

For many  ¹deceivers went out into the world, those who  ²do not confess Jesus Christ coming  ³in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the  ⁴antichrist.

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

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

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

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

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

The  ¹children of your chosen  ²sister greet you.

The  ¹elder to  ²Gaius the beloved, whom I love in  ³truthfulness.

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

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

I have no greater joy than these things, that I hear that my children are walking in the truth.

Beloved, you do faithfully in  ¹whatever you have wrought for the brothers, and this for  ²strangers,

Who testified to your  ¹love before the  ²church; whom you  ³will do well to send forward in a manner  ⁴worthy of God;

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

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

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

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 casts out of the church.

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

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

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

But I  ¹hope to see you shortly, and we will speak  ²face to face.

Peace to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of  ¹James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept  ²by Jesus Christ:

 ¹Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.

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  ²contend for the  ³faith once for all delivered to the saints.

 ¹For certain men have  ²crept in unnoticed, who of old have been  ³written of beforehand for  ⁴this judgment, ungodly men,  ⁵perverting the grace of our God into  ⁶licentiousness and  ⁵denying  ⁷our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

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

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

How Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who  ¹in like manner with these gave themselves over to fornication and went after different flesh, are set forth as an example, undergoing the penalty of eternal fire.

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

But  ¹Michael the archangel, when he contended with the devil and disputed concerning the  ²body of Moses,  ³did not dare to bring a reviling judgment against him but said, The Lord rebuke you.

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

Woe to them! For they have gone in the  ¹way of Cain and have  ²rushed out in the  ³error of Balaam for reward and have  ⁴perished in the  ⁵rebellion of Korah.

These are the  ¹hidden reefs in your  ²love feasts, feasting together with you without fear,  ³shepherding themselves;  ⁴waterless clouds being carried off by winds;  ⁵autumn trees without fruit, having died twice, rooted up;

 ¹Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames;  ²wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness is kept for eternity.

And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also of these, saying, Behold, the Lord  ¹came  ²with  ³myriads of His saints

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

These are murmurers, complainers, going on according to their own lusts; and their mouth speaks great swelling things, flattering  ¹persons for the sake of advantage.

But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

That they said to you, In the  ¹last time there will be mockers, going on according to their own lusts for ungodliness.

These are those who make divisions,  ¹soulish, having no  ²spirit.

But you, beloved, building up yourselves  ¹upon your most holy  ²faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

 ¹Keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the  ²mercy of our  ³Lord Jesus Christ  ⁴unto eternal life.

And  ¹on some have mercy, on those who are  ²wavering;

Save them by  ¹snatching them out of the  ²fire. On others have mercy  ³in fear, hating even the inner garment spotted from the flesh.

 ¹But to Him who is able to guard you from stumbling and to set you before His  ²glory without blemish  ³in  ⁴exultation,

To the only  ¹God our Savior through  ¹Jesus Christ our Lord be  ²glory, majesty, might, and authority  ³before all time and now and unto all eternity. Amen.
