2 John 7-11
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.

Reject false teachers
7 Many deceivers have gone into the world who do not confess that Jesus Christ came as a human being. This kind of person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch yourselves so that you don’t lose what we’ve worked for but instead receive a full reward. 9 Anyone who goes too far and does not continue in the teaching about Christ does not have God. Whoever continues in this teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 Whoever comes to you who does not affirm this teaching should neither be received nor welcomed into your home, 11 because welcoming people like that is the same thing as sharing in their evil actions.
