Beloved, I pray that you may prosper concerning all things and be well, as your soul prospers.

I have no greater joy than this, that I may hear of my children walking about in truth.

Therefore we ought to receive such, in order that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.

On account of this, if I may come, I will remember his works which he is doing, berating us with wicked speeches: and not content with these, he does not receive the brethren, and he prohibits them wishing to receive them, and casts them out of the church.
