2 John 7-11
Legacy Standard Bible
7 For (A)many deceivers have (B)gone out into the world, those who (C)do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is (D)the deceiver and the (E)antichrist. 8 (F)See to yourselves, (G)that you do not lose what we accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. 9 [a]Anyone who [b]goes too far and (H)does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. The one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, (I)do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting, 11 for the one who gives him a greeting [c](J)participates in his evil deeds.

2 John 7-11
Common English Bible
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.
