2 John 1:5-13 And now I beg you, my lady—not as though I were writing you any new command, but one which we have had from the beginning

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And now I beg you, my lady—not as though I were writing you any new command, but one which we have had from the beginning—let us love one another. ⁶ Love means this, that we be guided by his commands. The command, as you have heard from the beginning, is to be guided by love. ⁷ For many impostors have gone out into the world—men who do not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in human form. That is the mark of the impostor and the Antichrist. ⁸ Look out for yourselves, take care not to lose what we have worked for, but make sure that you are paid for it in full. ⁹ Anyone who goes too far and does not keep to the teaching of Christ has not God. It is the man who holds to the teaching who has both the Father and the Son. ¹⁰ If anyone comes to you without bringing this teaching, do not let him come into the house or bid him good morning. ¹¹ For anyone who bids him good morning shares in his wicked work. ¹² Though I have a great deal to write to you, I would rather not write it with paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you, and talk with you face to face, so that your happiness may be complete. ¹³ The children of your chosen sister wish to be remembered to you.
