3 John 10-12
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, prating against me with evil words. And not content with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.
11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God. 12 Deme′trius[a] has testimony from every one, and from the truth itself; I testify to him too, and you know my testimony is true.
