7 For ^jmany ^kdeceivers have gone out into the world, those who ^ldo not confess the coming of Jesus Christ ^min the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the ⁿantichrist. 8 Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we¹ have worked for, but may win a full ^oreward. 9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever ^pabides in the teaching ^qhas both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, ^rdo not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, 11 for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.

12 ^sThough I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead ^tI hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that ^uour joy may be complete.

13 The children of your elect sister greet you.
