8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

The "doctrines of Christ" are the instructions given us in the New Testament Bible.
* I Corinthians 6
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.
(At the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh.)
(At the time of sexual intercourse, the two become one flesh.)
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

I Corinthians 7
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Romans 7
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
(Some churches say we do not follow "the law" so they want to discard scriptures such as the above. We do not follow "the law of Moses" where animals are sacrificed for our sins. But we do follow the laws presented in the New Testament Bible for the New Testament church.)
Matthew 5 Jesus says:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
The man who divorces a "faithful" wife will be the cause of her adultery if she remarries. That faithful wife will commit adultery if she remarries. And the man who marries that divorced woman will commit adultery.
Mark 10
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Romans 1
27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned
in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is
unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error
which was meet.
***
I Corinthians 6
***
Ephesians 4
(There is no such "minister" as pope, cardinal, arch bishop, minister of music ... There are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers as ministers in the New Testament church given to the church by Jesus.)
***
Titus 3
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
(Don't keep trying to share things of God with them after they reject the first and second admonition. Neither keep company with such: no email, no phone calls, no visitations, no luncheons, no communication ... Do no become in their fleshly explanations.. avoid such persons.)

To review:
II John 1
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not (these) doctrines, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
