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 remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who remains in the teaching 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 7give him a greeting; 11for the one who 8gives him a greeting 9 10participates in his evil deeds.

12 11Though 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 12face to face, so that 13your 14joy may be made complete.

13The children of your 15chosen sister greet you.
