I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, did not receive us.

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.

I had many things to write, but I will not write to you with pen and ink,

but I trust I shall shortly see you, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
