ACC ~ 2 John 1 v8

DO NOT FALL AWAY. HILARY OF ARLES: Here John is warning people not to fall away into heresy or to revert back to the Old Testament law once they have received the New. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 2 JOHN.

WIN A FULL REWARD. OECUMENIUS: What if someone were to say: “So what if I do not believe that Christ is coming in the flesh. I have lived a life of good works, so why can I not be rewarded for these insofar as they are in accordance with what is godly and religious?” To this the apostle replies that no one should think that if he rejects the coming of Christ in the flesh he can receive the perfect reward which is given to the saints, or be regarded as a worshiper of God, because someone who does not remain in his teaching does not have God to begin with.
