Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
They have testified about your love before the assembly.
You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God, because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words.
Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
