Genesis 1:1
The Story of Creation In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth,
Beloved, you do well to care for the brothers and sisters as you do, especially those coming from other places.
About Demetrius: everyone bears witness to him, even the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil; instead, focus on what is good. Whoever does good belongs to God, but anyone who does evil does not know God.
So if I come, I will not hesitate to rebuke his behavior, as he has spoken evil of us with malicious intent. Not only that, but he also refuses to accept the friends and even tries to prevent those who want to welcome them, expelling them from the church.
I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who wants to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority.
We should welcome these individuals, making ourselves their partners in the work of the truth.
In truth, they have begun traveling for his name without accepting anything from the pagans.
