He who remains in the teaching,\n        the same has both the Father and the Son.\n001:010 If anyone comes to you, and doesn't bring this teaching,\n        don't receive him into your house, and don't welcome him,\n001:011 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.\n001:012 Having many things to write to you, I don't want to do so with paper\n        and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face,\n        that our joy may be made full.\n001:013 The children of your chosen sister greet you.  Amen.","title":"The World English Bible (WEB): 2 John","tradition":"scripture-revelation","translated_text":null,"word_count":323}
