"For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth."

"Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true."

"I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:"

"Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;"

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

"Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church."

"Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:"

"We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth."
