2 John 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 John 1:11

is partaker of his evil deeds;
he has fellowship with him, instead of reproving or shunning him, as he ought; he is an abettor of him in his principles, and so far joins in the propagation of them, and helps to spread them, and gives too much reason to think he is one with him in them.

13 Everyone here in your sister congregation sends greetings.
