Beloved, I
wish above all
things that
thou mayest
prosper and be in
health, even
as thy soul prospereth.

For I
rejoiced greatly, when the
brethren came and testified of the
truth that is in
thee, even
as thou walkest in the
truth.

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
evil, but that which is
good. He that doeth
good is of God: but he that doeth
evil hath not seen God.
