I have been memorising Scripture, and have so far managed 2 John, Philemon and 

1 Peter 1, [IN ENGLISH, btw!] and I have slightly altered the NIV to "For many 

deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ coming 
in the flesh" because one commentator has pointed out that this could refer to 

the Second Coming, and that it is good to leave it ambiguous enough to refer to 

Christ's original and Second Coming.

I am looking forward to Don Carson's forthcoming commentary on the Greek text 
of the Johannine Epistles. I am a great admirer of his work, and have found his 

books to be very beneficial. His "The Inclusive Language Debate: a plea for 
realism" [or similar title] is very helpful.
