Beware of Antichrist Deceivers

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

(F)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 (G)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.

For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. Look to yourselves, that ye [a]lose not the things which [b]we have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward. Whosoever [c]goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into your house, and give him no greeting: 11 for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.

I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ(A) as coming in the flesh,(B) have gone out into the world.(C) Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.(D) Watch out that you do not lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.(E) Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ(F) does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.(G) 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.(H) 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares(I) in their wicked work.
