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
New Living Translation
7 I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came[a] in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Watch out that you do not lose what we[b] have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward. 9 Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don’t invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement. 11 Anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work.
