For he that biddeth him, God speede, is partaker of his euill deedes. Although I had many things to write vnto you, yet I woulde not write with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, and speake mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full.
2 John 1:9 Whosoeuer transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.
2 John 1:10 If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not to house, neither bid him, God speede:
2 John 1:11 For he that biddeth him, God speede, is partaker of his euill deedes. Although I had many things to write vnto you, yet I woulde not write with paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, and speake mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full.
2 John 1:12 The sonnes of thine elect sister greete thee, Amen.
The verse centers on "biddeth", "speede", "partaker", "euill", "deedes", "although", "things", and "write". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "biddeth" and "speede", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 10's "If there come any vnto you and..." into verse 12's "The sonnes of thine elect sister greete...", so "biddeth" and "speede" belong inside that flow. In 2 John context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "biddeth" and "speede" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
