મેં વિશ્વાસી સમુદાયને કંઈ લખ્યું, પણ દિયોત્રેફેસ, જે તેઓમાં મુખ્ય થવા ચાહે છે, તે અમારો સ્વીકાર કરતો નથી.

In context

10Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.

11Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
