Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

3 John 1
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, prating 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, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.
¹² Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.
¹³ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;
¹⁴ but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

Jude 1
¹ Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
² Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
³ Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
⁴ For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
