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.
Apostulli tha: « I pakënaqur nga këto gjëra [Diotrefi] nuk sillet me vëllezërit me respekt dhe ata që duan të sillen me respekt kërkon t’i pengojë dhe t’i largojë nga kongregacioni. » ​ — 3. Gjonit 1, 5 - 10, NW.
