2 John 1:11

11 That would just give him a platform to perpetuate his evil ways, making you his partner.

2 John 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 John 1:11

For he that biddeth him God speed
Wishes him well, and success in his ministry, or in a friendly and familiar way converses with him:

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.

2 John 1:11 In-Context

9 Anyone who gets so progressive in his thinking that he walks out on the teaching of Christ, walks out on God. But whoever stays with the teaching, stays faithful to both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone shows up who doesn't hold to this teaching, don't invite him in and give him the run of the place.
11 That would just give him a platform to perpetuate his evil ways, making you his partner.
12 I have a lot more things to tell you, but I'd rather not use paper and ink. I hope to be there soon in person and have a heart-to-heart talk. That will be far more satisfying to both you and me.
13 Everyone here in your sister congregation sends greetings.
