2 John 1
1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and
A ⟨but⟩
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

Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we
ℵ ⟨I⟩
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
ℵ ⟨the commandment⟩
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
ℵ ⟨his⟩
commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.7 For many deceivers are entered
ℵBA ⟨gone out⟩
into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.8 Look to yourselves, that we
ℵBA ⟨ye⟩
lose not those things which weℵA ⟨ye⟩
have wrought, but that weℵBA ⟨ye may⟩
receive a full reward.9 Whosoever transgresseth
ℵBA ⟨goeth forward⟩
, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of ChristℵBA omit
, he hath both the Father and the SonA ⟨Son and the Father⟩
.10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having
ℵ*A* ⟨I have⟩
many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: butA ⟨for⟩
I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that ourBA ⟨your⟩
joy may be full.13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

About the Pointing
The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
