2 John
Listen & Read — in your languages
David's design for this one website: listen in one language while you read in another — hear the book in French while your eyes follow the Spanish, and the language teaches itself. The two choices below are independent.
Read in:
Each language edition carries this book as far as its translation has reached; where a translation is still in progress, that edition says so on its own page. The First Book of Adam and Eve carries the fully wired parallel reader — try it there.
Listen in: the audio edition
Audio edition in preparation — no recorded audiobook of this book is held yet, in any language. When recordings are delivered they will play here, chapter by chapter (ebooks/audio/<language>/2-john/001.mp3 …). Until then, this page's clean text can be read aloud by your device — see Read-Along Audiobooks for the honest status of production.
Listen with your device's voice
Your device reads this page's text aloud. This is not a recorded audiobook — the recorded audio edition, where one is held, is in the audio slot on this page.
Download this book as an e-book: Restored Publisher Edition (PDF)
The Restored Publisher Edition is a separate witness: the recovered publisher master of this book (the New Testament Editorial Master v05, recovered 2026-10-17), offered as a download alongside the reading text on this page — it is not the same text as the reading page. The master predates David’s Sacred Name rulings of 2026-10-11 and follows its earlier naming convention (the Father → Elohim; the title Lord → Sovereign; human lord → master); the reading page above follows the current rulings. The master’s own status: Matthew and Mark verified and frozen; Luke–Revelation contextual review pending.
Chapter 1
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from Yahweh the Father, and from Yeshua Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Yeshua Messiah is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Messiah, hath not Yahweh. He that abideth in the doctrine of Messiah, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Yahweh speed:
11 For he that biddeth him Yahweh speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
