2 John 1:7-11 For many deceivers have begun circulating in the world; they are those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come to earth in a physical body. Such a person is the deceiver and the antichrist : f See I John.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For many deceivers have begun circulating in the world; they are those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come [to earth] in a physical body. Such a person is the deceiver and the antichrist [See I John 2:18f]. ⁸ Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you do not lose what we [Note: Some Greek manuscripts say “you”] worked for [i.e., the spiritual blessings you have acquired], but [continue faithful] so that you will receive a full reward. [See Luke 12:47-48; James 3:1; Matt. 20:1-15]. ⁹ Every person who does not continue to follow the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God [in his life]. [But], the person who continues to follow in the teaching [of Christ] has both the Father and the Son [in his life]. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you [i.e., to your meetings] who does not bring this teaching [about Christ], you should not welcome him into your home or give him [any] greetings [i.e., suggesting approval or endorsement]. ¹¹ For the person who greets him [with approval] participates in his evil deeds [i.e., in his false teaching].
