03For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
05Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
06They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
09I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn't accept what we say.
10Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
11Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.
12Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
14but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
