3 John 1:7

Verse 7 of 14. The 1st of 1 chapters in 3 John, in The General Letters.

3For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.

4I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.

5Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.

6They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,

7because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

9I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.

10Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.

11Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
