2 John 1:7-13

7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess Jesus Christ^[a] coming in [the] flesh. This person is the deceiver and the antichrist!

8 Watch yourselves that you do not lose what we have worked for, but receive a full reward.

9 Everyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in the teaching--this person 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] house and do not speak a greeting to him,

11 because the one who speaks a greeting to him shares in his evil deeds.

Conclusion and Final Greeting

12 [Although]^[b] I have many [things] to write to you, I do not want [to do so] by means of paper and ink, but I hope to be with you and to speak {face to face}^[c], so that your^[d] joy may be complete.

13 The children of your elect sister greet you.
