2 John 7-11
Christian Standard Bible
7 Many deceivers have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.(A) This is the deceiver and the antichrist.(B) 8 Watch yourselves so that you don’t lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward.(C) 9 Anyone who does not remain in Christ’s teaching(D) but goes beyond it does not have God.(E) The one who remains(F) in that teaching, this one has both the Father(G) and the Son.(H) 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive(I) him into your home, and do not greet him; 11 for the one who greets him shares(J) in his evil works.(K)

2 John 7-11
International Standard Version
Reject False Teachers
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world. They refuse to acknowledge Jesus the Messiah[a] as having become human. Any such person is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 See[b] to it that you[c] don’t destroy what we have[d] worked for, but that you[e] receive your[f] full reward. 9 Everyone who does not remain true to the teaching of the Messiah,[g] but goes beyond it, does not have God. The person who remains true to the teaching of the Messiah[h] has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you[i] but does not present his teachings,[j] do not receive[k] him into your house or even welcome[l] him, 11 because the one who welcomes him shares in his evil deeds.
