2 John 1:4-11 - Truth And Deception

⁴ {I was very glad} because I found [some] of your children walking in [the] truth, just as {the Father commanded us}. ⁵ And now I ask you, lady (not as [if I were] writing a new commandment to you, but [one] that we have had from the beginning), that we should love one another. ⁶ And this is love: that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it.

⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in [the] flesh. This person is the deceiver and the antichrist! ⁸ Watch yourselves that you do not lose what we have worked for, but receive a full reward. ⁹ Everyone who goes too far and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in the teaching--this person has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into [your] house and do not speak a greeting to him, ¹¹ because the one who speaks a greeting to him shares in his evil deeds.
