2 John 6-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 And this is love: that we be walking according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you[a] all heard from the beginning, that you should be walking in it.
Because There Are Many Deceivers. Watch Out, And Abide In The Teaching of Christ
7 Because many deceivers went-out into the world— the ones not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Be watching yourselves in order that you[b] may not lose[c] the things which we[d] accomplished, but may receive a full reward.
