Reading I
2 Jn 4-9

 

[Chosen Lady:]
I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth
just as we were commanded by the Father.
But now, Lady, I ask you,
not as though I were writing a new commandment
but the one we have had from the beginning:
let us love one another.
For this is love, that we walk according to his commandments;
this is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning,
in which you should walk.

Many deceivers have gone out into the world,
those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh;
such is the deceitful one and the antichrist.
Look to yourselves that you do not lose what we worked for
but may receive a full recompense.
Anyone who is so "progressive"
as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God;
whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son.

 

*deceitful : dishonest, deceiving (속이는, 사기의)

*recompense : pay back, return (보답)

 

For this is love, that we walk according to his commandments;
this is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning,
in which you should walk.

 

우리가 하느님의 계명을 따라 걷는 것이 사랑이며,  

여러분들이 처음부터 들었던 대로 그것은 하느님의 계명이기 때문에

그 말씀 안에서 여러분은 걸어가야 합니다.
