^{5 Ref} Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers,

^{6 Ref} who did testify of thy love before an assembly, whom thou wilt do well, having sent forward worthily of God,

^{7 Ref} because for `His' name they went forth, nothing receiving from the nations;

^{8 Ref} we, then, ought to receive such, that fellow-workers we may become to the truth.

^{9 Ref} I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first place among them -- Diotrephes -- doth not receive us;

^{10 Ref} because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to remember his works that he doth, with evil words prating against us; and not content with these, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and those intending he doth forbid, and out of the assembly he doth cast.
