2 John 1:1 (CJB)
1 From: The Elder To: The chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth — and not only I but also all who have come to know the truth —

2 John 1:5 (NIV)-M
5 And now, dear lady, [the Church] I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another.
2 John 1:6 (NIV)
6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
2 John 1:7 (NASB)
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

8 Watch yourselves, so that you won’t lose what you have worked for, but will receive your full reward.
2 John 1:9 (NKJV)

2 John 1:10 (CJB)
10 If someone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, don’t welcome him into your home. Don’t even say, “Shalom!” to him;

11 for the person who says, “Shalom!” to him shares in his evil deeds.
