The apostle said: “Not being content with these things, neither does [Diotrephes] himself receive the brothers with respect, and those who are wanting to receive them he tries to hinder and to throw out of the congregation. ” ​ — 3 John 1, 5 - 10.
Apostel ütles: „Ega ole [Diotrefes] rahul sellegagi, et ei võta ise vendi vastu, vaid takistab ka neid, kes tahavad seda teha, ja lükkab nad välja kogudusest. ” — 3. Johannese 1, 5 — 10.
