3 John 10-12
New King James Version
3 John 10-12
New King James Version
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, (A)prating[a] against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.
11 Beloved, (B)do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. (C)He who does good is of God, [b]but he who does evil has not seen (D)God.
12 Demetrius (E)has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also [c]bear witness, (F)and you know that our testimony is true.

3 John 10-12
New International Version
10 So when I come,(A) I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers.(B) He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.(C)
11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.(D) Anyone who does what is good is from God.(E) Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.(F) 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone(G)—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.(H)
