In context
4 I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
5 Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren: and that for strangers,
6 Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church. Whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God:
7 Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to receive such: that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
9 I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, doth not receive us.
10 For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth; with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.
