| 1:1 | The elder to 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; |
| 1:2 | For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. |
| 1:3 | Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. |
| 1:4 | I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. |
| 1:5 | And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. |
| 1:6 | And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. |
| 1:7 | For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. |
| 1:8 | Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. |
| 1:9 | Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. |
| 1:10 | If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither wish him greetings: |
| 1:11 | For he that wisheth him greetings is partaker of his evil deeds. |
| 1:12 | Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. |
| 1:13 | The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. |
