3 John 9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ I wrote to the church. But Diotrephes (who loves to have the pre-eminence among them) will not receive us.

¹⁰ Therefore, if I come, I will remind you of his deeds which he does - prattling against us with malicious words - and not content with this, he not only does not receive the brothers himself, but forbids those who would and thrusts them out of the church.

¹¹ Beloved, do not follow that which is evil, but that which is good. The one who does well is of God. But the one who does evil has not seen God.
