What does the quote "God speed" mean?
The expression is found only in 2 John 10, 11 in the King James Version. "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." Most recent translations render the Greek word "greeting." It comes from a primary verb meaning to be cheerful. It also has the meaning of "be well." Thus the idea is that to say God speed or greeting is to wish someone well on his journey or in whatever endeavor the person might be engaged. In the text mentioned above John is warning against encouraging, or wishing well false teachers. To bid the false teacher God speed, or greeting, is to indicate that you are in agreement with that teaching and you wish him success in continuing to teach that false doctrine. However, to do this is to invite judgment from God.
