2 John 1:10

8 ^aLook to yourselves, ^bthat we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

9 ^aWhoever¹ transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

10 If anyone comes to you and ^adoes not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

John’s Farewell Greeting

12 ^aHaving many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, ^bthat our joy may be full.

13 ^aThe children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

What Does 2 John 1:10 Mean?

2 John 1:9-10

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, the Bible. Unless the words spoken conform to it, they are merely doctrines of men and do not reflect the true God, for those that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. This requires searching the Scripture as the Bereans did to verify if the preacher's words are true (Acts 17:11). One cannot know the true God unless one knows the truth of God.
