1:9 Diotrephes and Demetrius

9 I wrote something to the assembly, but Diotrephes won’t listen to us—he always wants the limelight for himself. 10 Because of that, if I do end up coming, I will be reminding him about what he’s been doing—rambling on against us with evil talks, and then, not being happy with that, he doesn’t accept other believers and expels them from the assembly then forbids others from accepting them either.

11 My dear friend, don’t copy the evil things that others do, just the good things. Anyone who does what is good belongs to God—anyone who does evil things has not seen God.

12 Demetrius has been talked about by everyone and even the truth itself speaks. We have also spoken about him, and you know that what we say is true.

9 I _wrote something to _the assembly, but the one loving _to _be _first of _them, Diotrefaʸs, not is _accepting us.
10 Because _of this, if I _may _come, I _will _be _reminding of _him the works, which he _is _doing, with _messages evil rambling _against us, and not being _sufficed with these things, nor himself is _accepting the brothers, but the ones wishing he _is _forbidding, and from the assembly is _throwing _out them.
11 Beloved, not be _imitating the evil, but the good.
The one doing _good of the god is, the one doing _evil not has _seen the god.
12 To _Daʸmaʸtrios has _been _attested by all, and by itself the truth, also and we are _testifying, and you _have _known that the testimony of _us true is.
