⁷ Many liars have gone out into the world. These deceitful liars are saying Jesus Christ did not have a truly human body. But they are liars and the enemies of Christ. ⁸ So be sure not to lose what we^[a] have worked for. If you do, you won't be given your full reward. ⁹ Don't keep changing what you were taught about Christ, or else God will no longer be with you. But if you hold firmly to what you were taught, both the Father and the Son will be with you.
