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.

[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.

Beware of Deceivers

Many deceivers who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh have gone out into the world. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. Watch yourselves so that you do not lose what we[a] have labored for but receive a full reward.

Anyone who goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in this teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If someone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house. Do not even wish him well. 11 For the one who wishes him well shares in his wicked works.
