3 John 1:9-10

9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to ¹be first among them, does not accept ^[a]what we say.

10 For this reason, ²if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not ³receive the ⁴brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and ⁵puts them out of the church.
