2 John 1:1
  Interlinear
[From:] The old (elder),
[Greek presbyteros, can refer to someone of advanced age or to a church leader. In this case, both descriptions apply to John, who at the time this letter was written was the last of the twelve apostles still alive.] to the chosen lady (elect lady – Gk. kyria)
and her children.
[May refer to a woman and her children. Kyria as a proper name was not entirely uncommon and is a feminine form of kyrios, meaning lord or head. Like the next letter, this letter is addressed to a person, but kyria may also refer to the congregation and its members. John often refers to believers as ‘my children’. The chosen ones were also ‘a royal priesthood,’ called to reign with the Anointed King Jesus. Kyria is then the bride of Kyrios Christos, see 2 Cor. 11:2; Rev 19:7.] I love all of you [with God's righteous, selfless, and generous love]
in truth,
and not just me,
but everyone who has come to know (personally experienced) the truth,
2 John 1:5
  Interlinear
Now I ask you, my wife (Gk. kyria, see verse 1) – this is not a new commandment I am writing to you, but [a repetition of] what we have had from the beginning:
that we should (may) love one another (with God's selfless, giving love).
