2 John 1:8-13

8Be careful that you don’t destroy what we’ve worked for, but that you receive your full reward.

9Everyone who doesn’t continue to teach what Christ taught doesn’t have God. The person who continues to teach what Christ taught has both the Father and the Son.

10If anyone comes to you and doesn’t bring these teachings, don’t take him into your home or even greet him.

11Whoever greets him shares the evil things he’s doing.

12I have a lot to write to you. I would prefer not to write a letter. Instead, I hope to visit and talk things over with you personally. Then we will be completely filled with joy.

13The children of your chosen sister greet you.
