3 John 1:7-14

7 For it is for Christ that they have gone forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
8 It is therefore our duty to show hospitality to such men, so that we may be fellow workers in promoting the truth.
9 I wrote to the Church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, refuses to listen to us.
10 For this reason, if I come, I shall not forget his conduct, nor his idle and mischievous talk against us. And he does not stop there: he not only will not receive the brethren, but those who desire to do this he hinders, and excludes them from the Church.
11 My dear friend, do not follow wrong examples, but right ones. He who habitually does what is right is a child of God: he who habitually does what is wrong has not seen God.
12 The character of Demetrius has the approval of all men, and of the truth itself. We also express our approval of it, and you know that we only give our approval to that which is true.
13 I have a great deal to say to you, but I do not wish to go on writing it with ink and pen.
14 But I hope to see you very soon, and then we will speak face to face. Peace be with you. Our friends send greetings to you. Greet our friends individually.
