I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

Beloved, imitate not 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 unto thee, but I am unwilling to write them to thee with ink and pen:

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