3 John 9-10
Legacy Standard Bible
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to (A)be first among them, does not welcome [a]what we say. 10 For this reason, (B)if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he does, unjustly disparaging us with wicked words. And not satisfied with this, he himself does not (C)welcome the (D)brothers either, and he forbids those who want to do so and (E)puts them out of the church.

Criticism of Diotrephes
9 I wrote a letter[a] to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be in charge, will not recognize our authority.[b] 10 For this reason, when I come I will call attention to what he is doing in spreading false charges against us. And not content with that, he refuses to receive the brothers. He even tries to stop those who want to accept them[c] and throws them out of the church.
