2 Juan 1

Ich hätte euch noch viel zu schreiben, aber ich wollte nicht mit Papier und Tinte, hoffe aber zu euch zu kommen und mündlich davon zu reden, auf daß unsere Freude vollkommen sei.

Aunque tengo muchas cosas que escribiros, no he querido comunicarlas por medio de papel y tinta; mas espero ir á vosotros, y hablar boca á boca, para que nuestro gozo sea cumplido.

Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
