Dear friend. do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God.
3 John 11
John had his pen out again to write to his
dear friend Gaius. He wrote to Gaius to
bless him for his faithfulness and good
works and to encourage him to continue to
be a blessing. John did not want Gaius to be
overwhelmed or influenced by the evil deeds
of a self-centered man named Diotrephes
who was throwing people out of the church
for welcoming and ministering to brothers
who were visiting. John wrote to let Gaius
know that he was fully aware of what
Diotrephes had been up to and that he
intended to rebuke and confront Diotrephes
‘ personally. On the other hand, John pointed
to another brother, Demetrius, who wfis
faithful and good. The strong message in
this letter is one of both encouragement and
caution- imitate good and not evil.
