Verse 10.— If there come any unto you. Such as described, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, receive them not into your house. He may claim to be a brother; but no difference, give him no welcome as such, extend to him no such hospitality; and further, extend to him no wish for his success, and no encouragement in his work of deception. In short, such are not to be fellowshiped in any manner by the brethren.
