I wish, my beloved, you may be as prosperous with regard to your health and other circumstances, as in what concerns your soul.

My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;

So, if I come [to visit you], I will remind you of what he is doing, [such as] using wicked words to talk nonsense against us [apostles]. And, not being satisfied with that, he [also] refuses to welcome the [other] brothers, and prevents [other] people from doing so [i.e., from welcoming these brothers], and even kicks them out of the church [for trying to].
