2 John 1:6-13

6 And ¹this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, ²just as you have heard ³from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

7 For ⁴many deceivers have ⁵gone out into the world, those who ⁶do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is ⁷the deceiver and the ⁸antichrist.

8 ⁹Watch yourselves, ¹⁰that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.

9 ^[a]Anyone who ^[b]goes too far and ¹¹does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, ¹²do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

11 for the one who gives him a greeting ¹³participates in his evil deeds.

12 ¹⁴Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that ^[c]your ¹⁵joy may be made full.

13 The children of your ¹⁶chosen sister greet you.
