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.

Revised Standard Version
Diotrephes and Demetrius
9 I have written something to the church; but Diot′rephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority. 10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, prating against me with evil words. And not content with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.
