3 John 1:11 in Context — 3 John 1

9 J’ai écrit quelques mots à l’Église; mais Diotrèphe, qui aime à être le premier parmi eux, ne nous reçoit point.

10 C’est pourquoi, si je vais vous voir, je rappellerai les actes qu’il commet, en tenant contre nous de méchants propos; non content de cela, il ne reçoit pas les frères, et ceux qui voudraient le faire, il les en empêche et les chasse de l’Église.

11 Bien-aimé, n’imite pas le mal, mais le bien. Celui qui fait le bien est de Dieu; celui qui fait le mal n’a point vu Dieu.

12 Tous, et la vérité elle-même, rendent un bon témoignage à Démétrius; nous aussi, nous lui rendons témoignage, et tu sais que notre témoignage est vrai.

13 J’aurais beaucoup de choses à t’écrire, mais je ne veux pas le faire avec l’encre et la plume.
