SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:9
Cualquiera que se rebela, y no permanece en la doctrina del Cristo, no tiene a Dios; el que permanece en la doctrina del Cristo, el tal tiene al Padre y al Hijo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 John 1:9
Verse 9. Whosoever transgresseth] parabainwn? He who passes over the sacred enclosure, or goes beyond the prescribed limits; and abideth not in the doctrine - does not remain within these holy limits, but indulges himself either in excesses of action or passion; hath not God for his Father, nor the love of God in his heart. Hath both the father and the Son.] He who abideth in the doctrine of Christ, his body is a temple of the Holy Trinity, and he has communion with the Father as his Father, and with the Son as his saviour and Redeemer.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. Whosoever transgresseth , etc.] Not the law of God, of which everyone is a transgressors and that daily, in thought, word, or deed; but who passes over the rule and standard of doctrine, the word of God, and will not adhere to that, nor walk according to it, but rejects and despises that rule: and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ ; which he received from his Father, and delivered to his apostles, and of which he is the sum and substance; the doctrine which is concerning his person as the Son of God, and as truly God, and the union of the two natures, divine and human, in his one person; and concerning his office, as the Mediator, surety, and messenger of the covenant, and as the prophet, priest, and King of his church; and concerning his incarnation, obedience, sufferings, death, resurrection from the dead, ascension to heaven, session at God's right hand, intercession for his people, and second coming to judgment; concerning peace and pardon by his blood, atonement by his sacrifice, justification by his righteousness, and complete salvation by him: this is jymh lm l wdwmlt , the doctrine of the King Messiah, or the Messiah's Talmud f8 , to use the Jewish phrase, and which agrees with John's. Now, whoever has embraced and professed this doctrine, but errs concerning it, and rejects it, and abides not in it, as Satan abode not in the truth, appears to be of him: hath not God ; for his Father, but the devil, the father of lies; he has no true knowledge of God, for there is none but in Christ, whose doctrine such an one has denied; nor has he, nor can he, have communion with him, nor any interest in him. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ ; as he hath received and professed it; neither can anything remove him from it, not the arguments of false teachers, nor the reproaches and persecutions of men, or the snares and allurements of the world: he hath both the Father and the Son ; he has an interest in them both, and has knowledge of each of them, and fellowship with them. The Alexandrian copy and the Vulgate Latin version leave out the phrase, of Christ, in the preceding clause, and only read, in the doctrine; and the Syriac version, in his doctrine; the sense is the same.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-11 - The deceiver and his deceit are described: he brings some erro concerning the person or office of the Lord Jesus. Such a one is deceiver and an antichrist; he deludes souls, and undermines the glor and kingdom of the Lord Christ. Let us not think it strange, that ther are deceivers and opposers of the Lord Christ's name and dignity now for there were such, even in the apostles' times. The more deceiver and deceits abound, the more watchful the disciples must be. Sad it is that splendid attainments in the school of Christ, should ever be lost The way to gain the full reward is, to abide true to Christ, an constant in religion to the end. Firm cleaving to Christian trut unites us to Christ, and thereby to the Father also; for they are one Let us equally disregard such as abide not in the doctrine of Christ and those who transgress his commands. Any who did not profess an preach the doctrine of Christ, respecting him as the Son of God, an salvation by him from guilt and sin, were not to be noticed an countenanced. Yet in obeying this command, we must show kindness and good spirit to those who differ from us in lesser matters, but holy firmly the all-important doctrines of Christ's person, atonement, an holy salvation.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
9. Whosoever transgresseth (pav o parabainwn). The best texts read proagwn goeth onward. So Rev., with taketh the lead in margin. The meaning is, whosoever advances beyond the limits of Christian doctrine. Others explain of those who would set themselves up as teachers, or take the lead. Such false progress is contrasted with abiding in the teaching. On the construction, pav every one, with the article and participle, see on 1 John iii. 3.
Abideth - in (menwn en). See on 1 John ii. 6.
Doctrine (didach). Better, as Rev., teaching.
Of Christ. Not the teaching concerning Christ, but the teaching of Christ Himself and of His apostles. See Heb. ii. 3. So according to New Testament usage. See John xviii. 19; Acts ii. 12; Apoc. ii. 14, 15. In the doctrine of Christ. Omit of Christ. Didach teaching, is used thus absolutely, Rom. xvi. 17; Tit. i. 9.
