10 If G1536 there come G2064 any G1536 G5100 unto G4314 you, G5209 and G2532 bring G5342 not G3756 this G5026 doctrine, G1322 receive G2983 him G846 not G3361 into G1519 your house, G3614 neither G2532 G3361 bid G3004 him G846 God speed: G5463
11 For G1063 he that biddeth G3004 him G846 God speed G5463 is partaker G2841 of his G846 evil G4190 deeds. G2041
12 Having G2192 many things G4183 to write G1125 unto you, G5213 I would G1014 not G3756 write with G1223 paper G5489 and G2532 ink: G3188 but G235 I trust G1679 to come G2064 unto G4314 you, G5209 and G2532 speak G2980 face G4750 to G4314 face, G4750 that G2443 our G2257 joy G5479 may be G5600 full.
