Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers to the truth.

Therefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, speaking against us with malicious words: and not content with that, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and forbids them that would, and casts them out of the church.

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: but he that does evil has not seen God.

Demetrius has good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear witness; and you know that our witness is true.
