I wrote to the assembly, but he loving to be first of them, Diotrephes, does not receive us.

Beloved, do not imitate the bad, but the good. The one doing good is of God; but the one doing bad has not seen God.

I had many things to write, but I do not desire to write by means of pen and ink.

But I am hoping to see you at once, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

But I intend to remind you, you once knowing these things, that the Lord having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, in the second place destroyed the ones not believing.

And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day;

But Michael the archangel, when contending with the Devil, he argued about the body of Moses; he dared not bring a judgment of blasphemy, but said, "Let the Lord rebuke you!" Zech. 3:2

But what things they do not know, they speak evil of these. And what things they understand naturally, like the animals without reason, they are corrupted by these.

But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

But you, beloved, building yourselves up by your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

But save others with fear, snatching them out of the fire, hating even the garment being stained from the flesh.

But I have against you that you left your first love.

But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

I know your works, and the affliction, and the poverty; but you are rich. And I know the evil speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

But I have a few things against you, that you have there those holding the teachings of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol sacrifices, and to commit fornication.

Repent! But if not, I will come to you quickly, and I will make war with them by the sword of My mouth.

But I have a few things against you, that you allow the woman Jezebel to teach, she saying herself to be a prophetess, and to cause My slaves to go astray, and to commit fornication, and to eat idol sacrifices.

But I say to you and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, and who did not know the deep things of Satan, as they say: I am not casting another burden on you;

but what you have, hold until I shall come.

Behold, I give out of the synagogue of Satan those saying themselves to be Jews, and they are not, but they lie. Behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they shall know that I loved you.
