3 John 9-10
New Living Translation
9 I wrote to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be the leader, refuses to have anything to do with us. 10 When I come, I will report some of the things he is doing and the evil accusations he is making against us. Not only does he refuse to welcome the traveling teachers, he also tells others not to help them. And when they do help, he 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.
