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.].
