3 John 1:8 Context
6Which haue borne witnesse of thy charitie before the Church: whome if thou bring forward on their iourney after a godly sort, thou shalt doe well: 7Because that for his Names sake they went foorth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 8We therefore ought to receiue such, that we might be fellow helpers to the trueth. 9I wrote vnto the Church, but Diotrephes, who loueth to haue the preeminence among them, receiueth vs not. 10Wherefore if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against vs with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth hee himselfe receiue the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the Church.
