2 John 5-10

English Standard Version

⁵ And now I ask you, dear lady—^(A)not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning—^(B)that we love one another. ⁶ And ^(C)this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just ^(D)as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. ⁷ For ^(E)many deceivers ^(F)have gone out into the world, ^(G)those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. ⁸ Watch yourselves, ^(H)so that you may not lose what we^[a] have worked for, but ^(I)may win a full reward. ⁹ Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, ^(J)does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching ^(K)has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, ^(L)do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,
