(New Revised Standard Version)
3Jn 1:5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends, even though they are strangers to you;
3Jn 1:6 they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God;
3Jn 1:7 for they began their journey for the sake of Christ, accepting no support from non-believers.
3Jn 1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
3Jn 1:9 I have written something to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority.
3Jn 1:10 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.
3Jn 1:11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil but imitate what is good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.
3Jn 1:12 Everyone has testified favorably about Demetrius, and so has the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.
3Jn 1:13 I have much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink;
3Jn 1:14 instead I hope to see you soon, and we will talk together face to face.
