2 John 4-11

New King James Version

Walk in Christ’s Commandments

⁴ I ^(A)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: ^(B)that we love one another. ^6 (C)This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that ^(D)as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

Beware of Antichrist Deceivers

⁷ For ^(E)many deceivers have gone out into the world ^(F)who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. ^(G)This is a deceiver and an antichrist. ^8 (H)Look to yourselves, ^(I)that ^[a]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

^9 (J)Whoever ^[b]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 ^(K)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.
