Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health physically just as you are spiritually.

I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

This is why, if I come, I will remind him of the works he is doing, slandering us with malicious words. And he is not satisfied with that! He not only refuses to welcome the brothers himself, but he even stops those who want to do so and expels them from the church.

Demetrius has a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. And we also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.
