3 John 8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Therefore we ought to ^[a]support such people, so that we may ^[b]prove to be fellow workers ^[c]with the truth.

⁹ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to ^(A)be first among them, does not accept ^[d]what we say. ¹⁰ For this reason, ^(B)if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with malicious words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not ^(C)receive the ^(D)brothers either, and he forbids those who want to do so and ^(E)puts them out of the church.
