First Reading
2 John 4-9
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
1:4I was exceeding glad, that I found of your children walking in truth, as we have received a command from the Father.
5And now I beg you, lady, not as writing a new command to you, but that which we have had from the start, that we love one another.
6And this is charity, that we walk according to his commands. For this is the command, that, as you have heard from the start, you should walk in the same:
7For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist.
8Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward.
9Whoever revolteth, and continueth not in the teaching of Christ, has not God. He that continueth in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son.
