2 John 1:8-13

8 1Watch yourselves, 2that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. 9 3Anyone who 4goes too far and 5does 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. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, 6do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11for the one who gives him a greeting 7participates in his evil deeds.

12 8Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that 9your 10joy may be made full.

13The children of your 11chosen sister greet you.
