3 John 7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ For they set out on their trip in the service of Christ without accepting any help from unbelievers. ⁸ We Christians, then, must help these people, so that we may share in their work for the truth.

Diotrephes and Demetrius

⁹ I wrote a short letter to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to be their leader, will not pay any attention to what I say.
