3 John 1:8-11

8We must support believers who go on trips like this so that we can work together with them in spreading the truth.

9I wrote a letter to the congregation. But Diotrephes, who loves to be in charge, won’t accept us.

10For this reason, when I come I will bring up what he’s doing. He’s not satisfied with saying malicious things about us. He also refuses to accept the believers ⌞we send⌟ as guests. He even tries to stop others who want to accept them and attempts to throw those people out of the congregation.

11Dear friend, never imitate evil, but imitate good. The person who does good is from God. The person who does evil has never seen God.
