- 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 truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth,
- for the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
- Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
- I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father.
- 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.
