Surrounding context
Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
If anyone comes to you, and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,
for he who welcomes him participates in his evil deeds.
Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
The children of your chosen sister greet you. Amen.
