I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn't accept what we say.

Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.

I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;

but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
