For I
rejoiced greatly, when the

truth that is in
thee, even
as thou walkest in the

Wherefore*,
if I
come, I will
remember his deeds which he
doeth, prating
against us with malicious
words: and not content therewith*,
neither doth he
himself receive the
brethren, and forbiddeth them that
would,
and casteth them out
of the
church.

Beloved, follow not that which is

good is of God: but he that doeth
