Notes On The Second Book Of John

This will be short. In this epistle John asks the "elect lady and her children" (2 John 1:1 English Standard Version) to continue to abide in love and do the commandments. They should also not allow anyone in their homes nor give any greeting to false brothers or sisters who do not carry the Gospel with them. (2 John 1:10). Whoever greets such a person is actually taking part in all of their evil works so we must be firm in this. (2 John 1:11). He reaffirms that a test of the antichrist is whether or not they confess that Jesus Christ has come and that he was incarnated. (2 John 1:7)
