A brief note on walking in truth and refusing false teaching.

About 2 John

Second John is a single short chapter addressed to "the elect lady and her children" — most likely a congregation. It repeats the two notes of the first letter in miniature: love one another, and hold to the teaching that Jesus came in the flesh. Its practical instruction concerns hospitality, warning against extending the support of the household to travelling teachers who deny that.
