• If a man say, I am come in the flesh, I should ask, What else could you come in? That is what you are; you are a mere man. But whosoever shall "confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, this is a deceiver and an antichrist." Perfect man, He is infinitely more. (“Notes on 2 John” by J.N. Darby)
• "Jesus Christ come in the flesh" supposes neither His deity alone, nor His humanity only, but both. There is no propriety in the expression, it appears to me, unless it means both united in the same person. In point of fact it is the veering to one side or the other—choosing a part of the truth of Christ so as to set aside the rest—that is so fruitful a source of error (“2 John” by W. Kelly)
• If this divine love came down in a man, and they denied that Christ came as a man, it could not be a holy man come to the flesh. (“Notes on 2 John” by J.N. Darby)

WK Translation Notes

a
The Revisers did well in abandoning the T. R. and KJV; the word "entered," though supported by most, has no just sense, but it should be "went," or "are gone, forth." Compare {vi 30605}{/vi}, where there is no various reading in the corresponding word.
b
Christ’s coming is now expressed in the abstract present, rather than as the perfect of {vi 30606}{/vi} (the present result of a past action). This makes no difference practically for the truth, which in both cases is the confession of His person thus qualified. Accordingly, as there so here, to leave out the words "that is" gives the force better than in the KJV and the RV. Dean Alford very properly shows that in these cases the present has nothing to do with time, but represents the great truth of the Incarnation itself, as distinguished from its historical manifestation elthōn, ({vi 30631}{/vi}), and from the abiding effect of that manifestation elēlythota, ({vi 30606}{/vi}); as all three are confessions of the Person "Jesus Christ," distinguished from the accusative with infinitive construction, which would have reduced the confession to simply the fact announced; whereas in each case it is the PERSON who is the primary predicate, the participle carrying the attributive or secondary predicate. It is not the bare fact that Jesus was to come in flesh, but His person as so coming, which the deceivers do not confess.
c
In the RV, the last clause should be "the" deceiver and "the" Antichrist."
