The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 70: 2 John The Challoner Revision

This brief apostolic letter offers a warmly personal appeal to Electa and her household, praising their faithfulness and urging them to continue walking in truth. Its central themes are enduring love, obedience to God’s commandments, and the joy found in remaining grounded in the teaching of Christ.

Alongside its concise scriptural text, the edition provides traditional annotations that explain the identity of the “lady Elect,” clarify the meaning of Christian charity, and place the warnings against false teachers in context. The epistle calls listeners to guard what they have received, remain discerning about teachings that deny Christ, and balance charity toward all with care for the integrity of their faith. Its closing expressions of hope and fellowship give this short work a direct, pastoral character well suited to reflection and devotional listening.
