3 John 8-10

Good News Translation

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. ¹⁰ When I come, then, I will bring up everything he has done: the terrible things he says about us and the lies he tells! But that is not enough for him; he will not receive the Christians when they come, and even stops those who want to receive them and tries to drive them out of the church!
