3 John 9-10
World English Bible
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say. 10 Therefore if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.

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.
