the truth

which
we had from the beginning ,
that we love one another.

confess that
Jesus Christ came
in the flesh. This
is the deceiver and the Antichrist.

lose the
things
which
we have accomplished

receive
a
full
reward

transgresses
and
doesn't
remain
in the teaching of Christ ,
doesn't
have God. He
who
remains in the
teaching ,
the
same
has both the Father and the Son.
Anyone
who
runs
ahead
without
remaining
in the teaching of Christ does
not
have God. Whoever
remains in His
teaching has both the Father and the Son.

and
doesn't
bring this teaching, don't
receive him into your house,
and
don't
welcome
him ,

does
not
bring this teaching, do
not
receive him into your home
or
even
greet
him .

he
who
welcomes
him
participates
in his evil works
.
Whoever
greets
such
a
person
shares
in his evil deeds
.
