2 John 1:8

Be cautious for yourselves, lest you lose what you have accomplished, and so that, instead, you may receive a full reward.

Catholic Public Domain Version

In The King James Version

9Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.
