If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
All Commentaries on 2 John 1:10 Go To 2 John 1
Clement Of Alexandria

He forbids us to salute such, and to receive them to our hospitality. For this is not harsh in the case of a man of this sort. But he admonishes them neither to confer nor dispute with such as are not able to handle divine things with intelligence, lest through them they be seduced from the doctrine of truth, influenced by plausible reasons. Now, I think that we are not even to pray with such, because in the prayer which is made at home, after rising from prayer, the salutation of joy is also the token of peace.
