My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.

Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever services thou performest for the brethren, and for strangers;

I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the church.

Beloved, do not 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.

Everybody testifies to Demetrius; the truth itself does; I testify to him too, and you know that my testimony to him is true.
