4I rejoice greatlythat I have found some of your children walking in truth,even as we have been commanded by the Father.5Now I beg you, dear lady,not as though I wrote to you a new commandment,but that which we had from the beginning,that we love one another.6This is love,that we should walk according to his commandments.This is the commandment,even as you heard from the beginning,that you should walk in it.

7For many deceivers have gone out into the world,those who don’t confessthat Jesus Christ came in the flesh.This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.8Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the thingswhich we have accomplished,but that we receive a full reward.9Whoever transgressesand doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ doesn’t have God.He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

1Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,who walk according to the Lord’s law.2Blessed are those who keep his statutes,who seek him with their whole heart.

10With my whole heart I have sought you.Don’t let me wander from your commandments.11I have hidden your word in my heart,that I might not sin against you.

17Do good to your servant.I will live and I will obey your word.18Open my eyes,that I may see wondrous things out of your law.

26As it was in the days of Noah,even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.27They ate, they drank,they married,and they were given in marriage until the daythat Noah entered into the ship,and the flood came and destroyed them all.28Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot:they ate, they drank,they bought, they sold,they planted, they built;29but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom,it rained fire and sulfur from the skyand destroyed them all.30It will be the same way in the daythat the Son of Man is revealed.31In that day, he who will be on the housetopand his goods in the house,let him not go down to take them away.Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.32Remember Lot’s wife!33Whoever seeks to save his life loses it,but whoever loses his life preserves it.34I tell you, inthat night there will be two people in one bed.One will be taken and the other will be left.35There will be two grinding grain together.One will be taken and the other will be left.”

37They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?”

He said to them, “Where the body is,there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
