3 John 1:9
Douay-Rheims
I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
George Leo Haydock
Diotrephes….doth not receive us, nor those we recommend, but prattles and talks against me. We know no more of this man, nor of Demetrius, of whom St. John gives so favourable a character. (Witham) — It seemeth, saith Ven. Bede, that he was an arch heretic, or proud sect master— upomneso . I will rebuke them, and make them known to be wicked. (Ven. Bede)
