{\MT Moshiachʼs Letter through the Shliach Yochanan to the Brit Chadasha Kehillah (II)



\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}From the Zaken\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:1 }{\FT{}}{\XT{Ex 3:16}}}{\ADD{(Elder)}}. To the Gevirah HaBechirah
{\ADD{(the Chosen Lady)}} and her Banim
{\ADD{(Sons, Children)}}, for whom I have ahavah
{\ADD{(agape)}} b'Emes, and not only I but also all those who have Da'as HaEmes
{\ADD{(Knowledge of the Truth)}},

\VS{2}Because of HaEmes that dwells inside us, and will be immanu
{\ADD{(with us)}} for Yamim HaOlam.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}Chen v'Chesed
{\ND{Hashem}}{\ADD{(unmerited Favor and Kindness)}}, Rachamim
{\ND{Hashem}}{\ADD{(Mercy)}}, and Shalom
{\ND{Hashem}}{\ADD{(Peace)}} will be immanu
{\ADD{(with us)}} from Elohim HaAv and from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, HaBen of HaAv, in Emes and Ahavah
{\ADD{(agape)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}I had simcha gedola
{\ADD{(much joy)}} that I have found some of your Banim with a walk which is Halakhah b'Derech Emes
{\ADD{(Conduct in the Way of Truth)}}, just as we received a mitzvah
{\ADD{(commandment)}} to do so from HaAv.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:4 }{\FT{}}{\XT{1:3}}}

\VS{5}And now I beseech you, Gevirah,\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:5 }{\FT{}}{\XT{1:1}}} not as a mitzvah chadasha
{\ADD{(new commandment)}} I am writing you, but that which we had meyReshit
{\ADD{(from the Beginning)}}: that we should have ahavah
{\ADD{(agape)}} one for the other,\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:5 }{\FT{}}{\XT{Yn 13:34}}}

\VS{6}And this is ahavah, that we should walk with a halichah according to the Mitzvot of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; this is the mitzvah just as you have heard it meyReshit. You must walk in it.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:6 }{\FT{}}{\XT{1:5}}}

\VS{7}Because mat'im rabbim
{\ADD{(many misleaders, deceivers)}} have gone out into the world, the ones not making the Ani Ma'amin hoda'ah
{\ADD{(confession)}} that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua habah b'basar
{\ADD{(has come in bodily flesh)}}; this one is HaMat'eh
{\ADD{(the Deceiving One)}} and the Anti-Moshiach.

\VS{8}Watch out for yourselves, lest you lose what we worked for, but may receive a sachar maleh
{\ADD{(full reward)}}.

\VS{9}Everyone who runs ahead and does not remain in the torah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach does not have
{\ND{Hashem}}; the one remaining in the torah [of Moshiach], this one has both HaAv and HaBen.

\VS{10}If anyone comes to you and does not bring this torah, do not receive him into your house,\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:10 }{\FT{kehillah, shtiebel}}} and do not give him Drishat Shalom.

\VS{11}For the one giving Drishat Shalom to him has shuttafut
{\ADD{(partnership)}} with his ma'asim hara'im
{\ADD{(evil deeds)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}I have many things to write to you; I wanted not to do so with parchment and ink, but I have the tikvah
{\ADD{(hope)}} to be with you and to speak panim el panim
{\ADD{(directly, in person)}},\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:12 }{\XT{Dt 34:10}}} that our simcha
{\ADD{(joy)}} may be shleimah
{\ADD{(complete)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}Drishat Shalom from the Banim of your Achot HaBechirah
{\ADD{(Chosen Sister)}}.
