3 John 1:8-11
8ThereforeG3767 weG1473 oughtG3784 to supportG5274 suchG5108 men, so thatG2443 we may beG1096 fellow workersG4904 for theG3588 truthG225.
9I have writtenG1125 to theG3588 churchG1577 about this,1 butG235 DiotrephesG1361, whoG3588 loves to be firstG5383G846, will not acceptG3756G1926 ourG1473 instruction. 10SoG1223G3778 ifG1437 I comeG2064, I will call attention toG5279 his maliciousG4190 slanderG5396G3056 against usG1473. AndG2532 unsatisfiedG3361G714 withG1909 thatG3778, he refuses to welcomeG3777G846G1926 theG3588 brothersG80 andG2532 forbidsG2967 those whoG3588 want to do soG1014, evenG2532 puttingG1544 them out ofG1537 theG3588 churchG1577.
11BelovedG27, do notG3361 imitateG3401 whatG3588 is evilG2556, butG235 whatG3588 is goodG18. TheG3588 one who does goodG15 isG1510 ofG1537 GodG2316; theG3588 one who does evilG2554 has not seenG3756G3708 GodG2316.
