Who testified to thy love before the church: thou shalt do well, having sent them forward worthily of God.

I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, seeking the superiority over them, receives us not.

Therefore, if I should come, I will put him in mind of his works which he does, talking silly against us with evil words: and not being satisfied in these, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and hinders those being willing, and casts out of the church.
