The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all that know the truth,

And now I beseech thee, Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

For many deceivers went out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ coming in the flesh; this is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which ye wrought, but receive a full reward.

Whoever goeth beyond, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the teaching, he hath both the Son and the Father.

If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and do not bid him good speed.

Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
