Walk in Christ’s Commandments

4 I arejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.  
5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: athat we love one another.  
6 aThis is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that bas you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.  

Beware of Antichrist Deceivers

7 For amany deceivers have gone out into the world bwho do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. cThis is a deceiver and an antichrist.  
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.

2 John 1:6

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments - This is the proper expression or evidence of love to God. See the notes at John 14:15, John 14:21.

This is the commandment - That is, this is his great and special commandment; the one by which his disciples are to be especially characterized, and by which they are to be distinguished in the world. See the notes at John 13:34.
