3 John 11-14
J.B. Phillips New Testament
A little piece of advice: and I shall soon be seeing you personally
11 Never let evil be your example, dear friend of mine, but always good. The man who does good is God’s man, but the man who does evil does not know God at all.
12 Everyone has a good word to say for Demetrius and the very truth speaks well of him. He has our warm recommendation also, and you know you can trust what we say about anyone.
13-14 There is a great deal I want to say to you but I can’t put it down in black and white. I hope to see you before long, and we will have a heart-to-heart talk. Peace be with you. All our friends here send love: please give ours personally to all our friends at your end.

3 John 11-13
New International Version
11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.(A) Anyone who does what is good is from God.(B) Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.(C) 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone(D)—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.(E)
13 I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink.
