5 At ngayo'y ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, ginang, na hindi waring sinusulatan kita ng isang bagong utos, kundi niyaong ating tinanggap nang pasimula, na tayo'y mangagibigan sa isa't isa.
5 Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 At ito ang pagibig, na tayo'y mangagsilakad ayon sa kaniyang mga utos. Ito ang utos, na tayo'y mangagsilakad sa kaniya, gaya ng inyong narinig nang pasimula.
6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7 Sapagka't maraming magdaraya na nangagsilitaw sa sanglibutan, sa makatuwid ay ang mga hindi nangagpapahayag na si Jesucristo ay napariritong nasa laman. Ito ang magdaraya at ang anticristo.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
9 Ang sinomang nagpapatuloy at hindi nananahan sa aral ni Cristo, ay hindi kinaroroonan ng Dios: ang nananahan sa aral, ay kinaroroonan ng Ama at gayon din ng Anak.
9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
12 Yamang may maraming mga bagay na isusulat sa inyo, ay hindi ko ibig isulat sa papel at tinta; datapuwa't inaasahan kong pumariyan sa inyo, at makipagusap ng mukhaan, upang malubos ang inyong galak.
12 Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full.
