3 John 9-10
Christian Standard Bible
Diotrephes and Demetrius
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have first place among them,(A) does not receive our authority.(B) 10 This is why, if I come, I will remind him of the works he is doing, slandering(C) us with malicious words. And he is not satisfied with that! He not only refuses to welcome fellow believers, but he even stops those who want to do so and expels them from the church.

9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to (A)be first among them, does not accept [a]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.
