I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write to thee with ink and pen;

but I hope to see thee immediately, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
