3 John 1:9-12 - Diotrephes And Demetrius
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, did not receive us. 10 Therefore if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, ranting against us with evil words. And not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brothers. And he forbids those who would, and casts them out of the church.
11 Beloved, do not imitate the bad, but the good. He who does good is from God, but he who does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius has good report by all, and by the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our witness is true.
