For I am happy to have some brothers come and testify to the truth that is in you, since you are living by the truth.

My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;

wherefore if I come I will declare his deeds which he doeth, jesting on us with malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of the congregation.
