2 John 7-13

English Standard Version

⁷ For ^(A)many deceivers ^(B)have gone out into the world, ^(C)those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Watch yourselves, ^(D)so that you may not lose what we^[a] have worked for, but ^(E)may win a full reward. ⁹ Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, ^(F)does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching ^(G)has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, ^(H)do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, ¹¹ for whoever greets him ^(I)takes part in his wicked works.

Final Greetings

^12 (J)Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. ^(K)Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, ^(L)so that our joy may be complete.

¹³ The children of your elect sister greet you.
