2 John 7-11
New International Version
7 I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ(A) as coming in the flesh,(B) have gone out into the world.(C) Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.(D) 8 Watch out that you do not lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.(E) 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ(F) does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.(G) 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.(H) 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares(I) in their wicked work.

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.
