they have testified before the church to your love. Please see them off on their journey in a way appropriate to God's service.

So we ought to support such men, to show that we are ready to co-operate with the truth.

I have written briefly to the church, but Diotrephes who likes to be their leader will not accept what I say.

So if I come, I will bring up the things that he is doing, and how he is maliciously accusing me. Not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers himself, and he is interfering with those who want to do so, and has them put out of the church.

I hope to see you very soon and we will talk face to face. Goodbye. Our friends wish to be remembered to you. Remember me to our friends, every one.
