3 John 11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ Dear friend, don’t be like those who do evil. Be like those who do good. Anyone who does what is good belongs to God. Anyone who does what is evil hasn’t really seen or known God. ¹² Everyone says good things about Demetrius. He lives in keeping with the truth. We also say good things about him. And you know that what we say is true.

¹³ I have a lot to write to you. But I don’t want to write with pen and ink.
