I have no greater joy than these things that I hear of my children walking in the truth.

Beloved, thou doest faithfully in whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,

(who have witnessed of thy love before the assembly,) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;

for for the name have they gone forth, taking nothing of those of the nations.

I wrote something to the assembly; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, receives us not.
