Context
Warning Against False Teachers
1:5 But now I ask you , lady (not as if I were writing a new commandment to you , but the one we have had from the beginning ), that we love one another .
1:6 (Now this is love : that we walk according to his commandments .) This is the commandment , just as you have heard from the beginning ; thus you should walk in it .
1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world , people who do not confess Jesus as Christ coming in the flesh . This person is the deceiver and the antichrist !
1:8 Watch out , so that you do not lose the things we have worked for , but receive a full reward .
1:9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God . The one who remains in this teaching has both the Father and the Son .
1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching , do not receive him into your house and do not give him any greeting ,
1:11 because the person who gives him a greeting shares in his evil deeds .
