| Summary |
"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 2 John" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a modern translation of the New Testament, specifically focusing on the Epistle of Second John. Written in the early 20th century, this work seeks to provide clarity and understanding of biblical text in contemporary language. The likely topic of the book is the importance of truth, love, and adherence to Christian teachings in the face of deceit. The content of "2 John" revolves around a personal letter addressed by an elder (often understood to be John) to an "elect lady" and her children, expressing heartfelt love for them due to their commitment to living in truth and obedience to God's commands. The author emphasizes the necessity of loving one another and warns against deceivers who deny the true nature of Christ. He instructs the recipient to be vigilant against such individuals and encourages an unwavering adherence to Christian teachings. The letter concludes with a desire for personal interaction to foster complete joy, along with greetings from a connected community, reflecting a network of support and shared faith.
