3 John 1:9-14

3 John 1:9-14

[9] I wrote  unto the church:  but  Diotrephes,  who  loveth to have the preeminence  among them,  receiveth  not.  [10] Wherefore,  if  I come,  I will remember  his  deeds  which  he doeth,  prating against  with  malicious words:  and  not  content  therewith,  neither  he himself  receive  the brethren,  and  forbiddeth  them that would,  and  casteth  them out of  the church.  [11] Beloved,  follow  not  that which is evil,  but  that which is good.  He that doeth good  of  God:  he that doeth evil  not  seen  God.  [12] Demetrius  hath good report  of  all  men, and  of  the truth  itself:  yea,  and  also bear record;  and  ye know  that  record  true.  [13] I had  many things  to write,  but  I will  not  with  ink  and  pen  write  [14] But  I trust  shortly  and  we shall speak  face  to  face.  Peace  Our friends  salute  the friends  by  name.
