3 John 1:8-11
8ThereforeG3767 we oughtG3784 to 1supportG5274 suchG5108 menG5108, soG2443 that we may 2be fellowG4904 workersG4904 3with the truthG225.
9I wroteG1125 somethingG5100 to the churchG1577; but DiotrephesG1361, who lovesG5383 to 4be firstG5383 among them, does not acceptG1926 5what we sayG1473. 10For thisG3778 reasonG1223, 6ifG1437 I comeG2064, I will callG5279 attentionG5279 to his deedsG2041 whichG3739 he doesG4160, unjustlyG5396 accusingG5396 us with wickedG4190 wordsG3056; and not satisfiedG714 with thisG3778, he himselfG846 does not 7receiveG1926 the 8brethrenG80, eitherG3777, and he forbidsG2967 thoseG3588 who desireG1014 to do so and 9putsG1544 them out of the churchG1577.
11BelovedG27, 10do not imitateG3401 whatG2556 is evilG2556, but whatG18 is goodG18. 11The one who doesG15 goodG15 is of GodG2316; 12the one who doesG2554 evilG2554 has not seenG3708 GodG2316.
