-
|3 João 1:4| It is always my greatest joy to hear that my children are living according to the truth.
-
|3 João 1:5| My dear friend, you have done loyal work in helping these brothers, even though they were strangers to you.
-
|3 João 1:6| They are a proof to the whole Church of your love and it would be a kindness if you could help them on their journey as God would approve.
-
|3 João 1:7| It was entirely for the sake of the name that they set out, without depending on the non-believers for anything:

|3 João 1:9| I have written a note for the members of the church, but Diotrephes, who enjoys being in charge of it, refuses to accept us.
-
|3 João 1:10| So if I come, I shall tell everyone how he has behaved, and about the wicked accusations he has been circulating against us.
