I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who affects pre-eminence over them, receiveth us not.

Beloved, be not an imitator of what is evil, but of that which is good. He that doeth good is of God, but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

I had many things to write; but I would not write to thee with ink and pen:

but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
