The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth;

I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true;

Ο πρεσβυτερος προς την εκλεκτην κυριαν και προς τα τεκνα αυτης, τους οποιους εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια, και ουχι εγω μονος, αλλα και παντες οι γνωρισαντες την αληθειαν,

The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
