7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus (YHWH saves) Christ (the Anointed One) in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

8 Watch yourselves, so that you⁺ do not lose what we have worked for [what you have worked for], but that you⁺ may be fully rewarded.

9 Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching {didachē} of Christ (the Anointed One) does not have God {Theon}. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father {Patera} and the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you⁺ but does not bring this teaching {didachēn}, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.

11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds (acts).

12 I have many things to write to you⁺, but I would prefer not to do so with paper and ink. Instead, I hope to come and speak with you⁺ face to face \mouth to mouth/, so that our joy may be complete.

13 The children of your elect sister send you greetings [Amen.].
