I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, how thou in truth walkest.

I have no greater joy than for to hear how that my sons walk in verity.

wherefore if I come I will declare his deeds which he doeth, jesting on us with malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of the congregation.

Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good: He that doeth well is of God: but he that doeth evil seeth not God.
