I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who wants to be first [among] them, does not acknowledge us.

Dear friend, do not imitate [what is] evil, but [what is] good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

I have many things to write to you, but I do not want to write to you by means of ink and pen.

But I hope to see you right away, and to speak {face to face}.
