Guard yourselves from idols, [my] little-children. Amen. {F} The section which is included in the King James Type translations is originally from a marginal note in the Catholic Latin Bible thus not The Word of God. {NOTES: Please read the Preface and other non-bible sections. $ is our universal footnoting for words contained in the Definitions section. These words are NOT the same Greek word as the non-asterisk form; i.e., $FOR is different from FOR$ is different from FOR. (degree sign) denotes plural forms.} {{ Introduction to 2 John 67-70 AD The author describes himself as the elder. Maybe to describe his age or his position as part of the congregations leadership. The false teachers in verse 7 are the same as those referred to in 1 John. John wants to warn his readers against the infiltration of error while also encouraging Christian hospitality. However, John still must warn against receiving and aiding any false teacher (2 John 10, 11). Do not even greet them.}} [2 John]
