This is a biblical parallel text presenting the Second Epistle of John (2 John) in three versions side by side: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV) with Strong's concordance numbers, and the Latin Vulgate. The letter is attributed to "the elder" and addressed to "the elect lady and her children" — a greeting that may refer to a specific woman or, allegorically, to a local Christian congregation. Its central argument is that love and truth are inseparable: genuine love for God means walking in his commandments, and truth is the permanent, shared possession of all believers. The letter's most distinctive claim is a sharp warning against "deceivers" and "antichrists" — those who deny that Jesus Christ came in the flesh — instructing recipients not to welcome such teachers into their homes or even greet them, on the grounds that doing so makes one complicit in their evil. The tripartite format (Greek, English with lexical numbers, Latin) suggests a scholarly or devotional study edition intended for readers who want to compare the original language, a classic English translation, and the historic Latin text simultaneously.
