2 John 1:8-13

8Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward.

9Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.

10If anyone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don’t invite that person into your home or give any kind of encouragement.

11Anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work.

12I have much more to say to you, but I don’t want to do it with paper and ink. For I hope to visit you soon and talk with you face to face. Then our joy will be complete.

13Greetings from the children of your sister, chosen by God.
