3 John 1:9-12 - Diotrephes And Demetrius
9 I wrote unto the congregation: but Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not, 10 wherefore if I come I will declare his deeds which he doeth, jesting on us with malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of the congregation.
11 Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good: He that doeth well is of God: but he that doeth evil seeth not God. 12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth. Yea and we ourselves also bear record, and ye know that our record is true.
