2 John 1:4-11

2 John 1:4-11

[4] I rejoiced  greatly  that  I found  of  children  walking  in  truth,  as  we have received  a commandment  from  the Father.  [5] And  now  I beseech  lady,  not  as though  I wrote  a new  commandment  but  that which  we had  from  the beginning,  that  we love  one another.  [6] And  this  love,  that  we walk  after  his  commandments.  This  the commandment,  That,  as  ye have heard  from  the beginning,  ye should walk  in  it.  [7] For  many  deceivers  into  the world,  who  confess  not  that Jesus  Christ  is come  in  the flesh.  This  a deceiver  and  an antichrist.  [8] Look  to yourselves,  we lose  those things which  we have wrought,  but  that we receive  a full  reward.  [9] Whosoever  and  abideth  not  in  the doctrine  of Christ,  hath  not  God.  He that abideth  in  the doctrine  of Christ,  he  hath  both  the Father  and  the Son.  [10] there come  unto  and  bring  not  doctrine,  receive  him  not  into  your house,  neither  bid  him  God speed:  [11] For  he that biddeth  him  God speed  is partaker  of his  evil  deeds.
