3 John 1 — Context

So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.

My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.

Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true.

I had much to say to you, but it is not my purpose to put it all down with ink and pen:

But I am hoping to see you in a short time, and to have talk with you face to face. May you have peace. Your friends here send you their love. Give my love to our friends by name.
