2 John 1
⁴ I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
⁵ And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
⁶ This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
⁷ For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
⁸ Look to yourselves, that we may receive a full reward.
⁹ Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;
¹¹ for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
¹² Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
¹³ The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
