- 作长老的写信给蒙拣选的太太,(太太作教会下同),和他的儿女,就是我诚心所爱的。不但我爱,也是一切知道真理之人所爱的。
- 爱你们是为真理的缘故,这真理存在我们里面,也必永远与我们同在。
- 恩惠,怜悯,平安,从父神和他儿子耶稣基督,在真理和爱心上,必常与我们同在。
- 我见你的儿女,有照我们从父所受之命令遵行真理的,就甚欢喜。
- 太太阿,我现在劝你,我们大家要彼此相爱。这并不是我写一条新命令给你,乃是我们从起初所受的命令。

- The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth--and not I only, but also all who know the truth -
- because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
- It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.
- And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another.
