2 John 1:4-11 - Truth And Deception

⁴ It makes me exceedingly happy to find that some of your children are guided by truth, just as we have been commanded to be by the Father. ⁵ And now I beg you, my lady??ot as though I were writing you any new command, but one which we have had from the beginning??et us love one another. ⁶ Love means this, that we be guided by his commands. The command, as you have heard from the beginning, is to be guided by love.

⁷ For many impostors have gone out into the world??en who do not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in human form. That is the mark of the impostor and the Antichrist. ⁸ Look out for yourselves, take care not to lose what we have worked for, but make sure that you are paid for it in full. ⁹ Anyone who goes too far and does not keep to the teaching of Christ has not God. It is the man who holds to the teaching who has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you without bringing this teaching, do not let him come into the house or bid him good morning. ¹¹ For anyone who bids him good morning shares in his wicked work.
