3 John 1:10

---

← 3 John 1:9	3 John 1:10 (KJV)	3 John 1:11 →
I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.	Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth [them] out of the church.	Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
