2 John 7-11

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Because There Are Many Deceivers. Watch Out, And Abide In The Teaching of Christ

⁷Because many deceivers went-out into the world— the ones not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸Be watching yourselves in order that you^[a] may not lose^[b] the things which we^[c] accomplished, but may receive a full reward. ⁹Everyone going-ahead^[d] and not abiding in the teaching of Christ does not have God; the one abiding in the teaching— this one has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰If anyone comes to you^[e] and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into the house^[f] and do not speak greetings to him. ¹¹For the one speaking greetings to him shares in his evil works.
