Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

2 John 1:8

Look to yourselves that [β λ ε π ε τ ε ε α υ τ ο υ ς ι ν α]. %Ina in order that, marks the intent of the caution. See on John 14:13.

We lose [α π ο λ ε σ ω μ ε ν]. The best texts read ajpoleshte, ye lose. So Rev, with destroy in margin. For the meanings of the verb see on Luke 9:25. We receive [α π ο λ α β ω μ ε ν]. The best texts read ajpolabhte ye receive. The compounded preposition ajpo, has the force of back : receive back from God.

Reward [μ ι σ θ ο ν]. See on 2 Peter 2:13, and compare Matthew 5:12; John 4:36; 1 Corinthians 3:8; Revelation 11:18; Revelation 22:12.
