Stephanas, together with the elders who are with him - Daphnus, Eubulus, Theophilus, and Xenon - to Paulos, our brother in the Master: shalom.
2
Two ishim have come into Qorintos, Shim'on and Cleobius, and they are overturning the faithfulness of many through corrupt words.
3
We ask you to examine what they are teaching.
4
We never heard such words from you, nor from the other emissaries.
5
What we received from you and from them, that we have continued to hold firmly.
6
Yahuah has shown us mercy in allowing us, while you are still alive in the flesh, to hear again what is true concerning these things.
7
Therefore, if it is possible, come to us; if you cannot come, then write to us quickly.
8
We believe, according to what was revealed to Theonoe, that you have been delivered from the hand of the lawless one.
9
These are the teachings the two ishim are spreading:
10
They say that the Prophets should not be received.
11
They say that Elohim is not Shaddai.
12
They deny the resurrection of the flesh.
13
They say that Adam was not formed by Elohim.
14
They say that Yahushua the Anointed did not come in true flesh and was not born from Miryam.
15
They say that the world is not the work of Elohim but belongs to lesser heavenly powers.
16
Therefore, brother, we plead with you: act quickly, so that the assembly in Qorintos may remain without stumbling and the madness of this teaching may be exposed. Shalom in the Master.
