7
Many deceivers have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.[a] This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8
Watch yourselves so that you don't lose what we[b] have worked for, but you may receive a full reward.
9
Anyone who does not remain in the teaching about Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God. The one who remains in that teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son.
10
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home, and don't say, "Welcome," to him;
11
for the one who says, "Welcome," to him shares in his evil works.
Farewell
12 Though I have many things to write to you, I don't want to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to be with you and talk face to face[c] so that our joy may be complete.
13
The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
