For anyone. "This is not a simple misunderstanding, but a deliberate attempt to destroy Christ's church! Since these people have made themselves the Enemies of Christ, you must treat them as such!" This does not conflict with Mark 9:38-39 (see notes there) or with Philippians 1:15-18 (see notes there). What John says here must be viewed in the seriousness of the circumstances. She must not do anything that might give this false teacher any hint of help in his work of destroying the faith!!!
