This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist. 8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9Whoever transgresseth, 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. 10If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither wish him happiness: 11For he that wisheth him happiness, is partaker of his evil deeds. 12Having many things to write to you, I would not [write] with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. 13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
