2 John 1:1
Douay-Rheims
The ancient to the lady Elect, and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth,
George Leo Haydock
The ancient priest, or bishop. See 1 Peter v. 1. — To the lady Elect. Some conjecture that elect might be the name of a family, or of a particular church; but the common opinion is, that it was the proper name of a virtuous lady. — Whom I love in truth, with a sincere Christian charity as well as her children. By reason of the truth, or the true faith, that abideth in us. (Witham)
