For it makes me exceedingly happy to have some brothers come and testify to the truth of your life, for you are guided by truth.

I know of no greater blessing than hearing that my children are being guided by the truth.

I have written briefly to the church, but Diotrephes who likes to be their leader will not accept what I say.

I hope to see you very soon and we will talk face to face. Goodbye. Our friends wish to be remembered to you. Remember me to our friends, every one.
