3 John 9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.

¹⁰ For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God.
