A man named Diotrephes was spreading “malicious talk ” about the apostle John and others, was refusing to extend hospitality to traveling Christians, and was trying to persuade others to follow his example.
Mees nimega Diotrefes levitas laimujutte apostel Johannese ja teiste kohta, keeldus osutamast külalislahkust mujalt tulnud kristlastele ning püüdis ka teisi veenda sedasama tegema.
