3 John 1:9 - Forerunner Commentary

3 John 1:9

7 because they went forth for His name’s sake, ^ataking nothing from the Gentiles.

8 We therefore ought to ^areceive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.

Diotrephes and Demetrius

9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.

10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, ^aprating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.

11 Beloved, ^ado not imitate what is evil, but what is good. ^bHe who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen ^cGod.
