They have told the church about your love. Please help them by sending them on their way in a manner that honors God.

I wrote to the church. But Diotrephes will not welcome us. He loves to be the first in everything.

So when I come, I will point out what he is doing. He is saying evil things that aren’t true about us. Even this doesn’t satisfy him. So he refuses to welcome other believers. He also keeps others from welcoming them. In fact, he throws them out of the church.
