Today’s NT Greek Reading

Today’s reading is from 2 John 1:4-7:

Εχαρην λιαν οτι ευρηκα εκ των τεκνων σου περιπατουντας εν αληθεια, καθως εντολην ελαβομεν παρα του πατρος. και νυν ερωτω σε, κυρια, ουχ ως εντολην καινην γραφων σοι αλλα ην ειχομεν απ αρχης, ινα αγαπωμεν αλληλους. και αυτη εστιν η αγαπη, ινα περιπατωμεν κατα τας εντολας αυτου: αυτη η εντολη εστιν, καθως ηκουσατε απ αρχης, ινα εν αυτη περιπατητε. οτι πολλοι πλανοι εξηλθον εις τον κοσμον, οι μη ομολογουντες Ιησουν Χριστον ερχομενον εν σαρκι: ουτος εστιν ο πλανος και ο αντιχριστος.

I was exceedingly glad that I found some of your children walking in truth, just as we received a commandment [to do] from the Father. And now I ask you, ma’am— not as though I were writing a new commandment for you, but the one which we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk according to the his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, in order that you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not profess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
