Who have borne witness of your love before the church: whom if you send forward on their journey in a godly manner, you shall do well:

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, receives us not.

Therefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, speaking against us with malicious words: and not content with that, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and forbids them that would, and casts them out of the church.
