3 John 12-14

Amplified Bible

¹² Demetrius has received a good testimony and commendation from everyone—and from the truth [the standard of God’s word] itself; and we add our testimony and speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.

¹³ I had many things [to say when I began] to write to you, but I prefer not to put it down with pen (reed) and ^[a]black (ink); ¹⁴ but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak ^[b]face to face.^(A)
