2 John 1:7-11

7 For ¹many deceivers ²have gone out into the world, ³those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

8 Watch yourselves, ⁴so that you may not lose what we^[a] have worked for, but ⁵may win a full reward.

9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, ⁶does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching ⁷has both the Father and the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, ⁸do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,

11 for whoever greets him ⁹takes part in his wicked works.
