3 John 7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ for they began their journey for the sake of Christ,^[a] accepting no support from non-believers.^{[b] 8} Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we may become co-workers with the truth.

Diotrephes and Demetrius

⁹ I have written something to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority.
