Comparison
2 John 1
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The ancient to the lady Elect, and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth, | Senior Electae dominae, et natis eius, quos ego diligo in veritate, et non ego solus, sed et omnes qui cognoverunt veritatem, |
| 2 | For the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. | propter veritatem, quae permanet in nobis, et nobiscum erit in aeternum. |
| 3 | Grace be with you, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus the Son of the Father; in truth and charity. | Sit vobiscum gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et a Christo Iesu Filio Patris in veritate, et caritate. |
| 4 | I was exceeding glad, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. | Gavisus sum valde, quoniam inveni de filiis tuis ambulantes in veritate, sicut mandatum accepimus a Patre. |
| 5 | And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. | Et nunc rogo te domina, non tamquam mandatum novum scribens tibi, sed quod habuimus ab initio, ut diligamus alterutrum. |
| 6 | And this is charity, that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same: | Et haec est caritas, ut ambulemus secundum mandata eius. Hoc est enim mandatum, ut quemadmodum audistis ab initio, in eo ambuletis. |
| 7 | For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist. | Quoniam multi seductores exierunt in mundum, qui non confitentur Iesum Christum venisse in carnem: hic est seductor, et antichristus. |
| 8 | Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward. | Videte vosmetipsos, ne perdatis quae operati estis: sed ut mercedem plenam accipiatis. |
| 9 | Whosoever revolteth, and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son. | Omnis qui recedit, et non permanet in doctrina Christi, Deum non habet: qui permanet in doctrina, hic et Patrem et Filium habet. |
| 10 | If any man come to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him, God speed you. | Si quis venit ad vos, et hanc doctrinam non affert, nolite recipere eum in domum, nec Ave ei dixeritis. |
| 11 | For he that saith unto him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works. | Qui enim dicit illi Ave, communicat operibus eius malignis. |
| 12 | Having more things to write unto you, I would not by paper and ink: for I hope that I shall be with you, and speak face to face: that your joy may be full. | Plura habens vobis scribere, nolui per cartam et atramentum: spero enim me futurum apud vos, et os ad os loqui: ut gaudium vestrum plenum sit. |
| 13 | The children of thy sister Elect salute thee. | Salutant te filii sororis tuae Electae. |
