2 John 1:8 Context
6And this is loue, that wee walke after his Commandements. This is the Commandement, that as yee haue heard from the beginning, yee should walke in it. 7For many deceiuers are entred into the world, who confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiuer, and an Antichrist. 8Looke to your selues, that wee lose not those things which wee haue wrought, but that we receiue a full reward. 9Whosoeuer transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: hee that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne. 10If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not into your house, neither bid him, God speed.
