2 John 1:8-13

8Watch yourselves so that you don’t lose what we have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward.

9Anyone who does not remain in Christ’s teaching but goes beyond it does not have God. The one who remains in that teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son.

10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home, and do not greet him;

11for the one who greets him shares in his evil works.

12Though I have many things to write to you, I don’t want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come to you and talk face to face so that our joy may be complete.

13The children of your elect sister send you greetings.
