3Jo 11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11 : John gives advice to the believers: Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good (3 John 1:11 ). Do not copy the bad example of Diotrephes or anyone who does wrong. Instead, do what is good—show wisdom, purity, peace, and love. Those who do good show that they belong to God. He that doeth good is of God (3 John 1:11 ). But those who do evil show that they do not truly know God. This is a reminder that our actions show our true relationship with God.

‏ 3 John 11

v. 11: John gives advice to the believers: Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good (3 John 1:11 ^a). Do not copy the bad example of Diotrephes or anyone who does wrong. Instead, do what is good—show wisdom, purity, peace, and love. Those who do good show that they belong to God. He that doeth good is of God (3 John 1:11 ^b). But those who do evil show that they do not truly know God. This is a reminder that our actions show our true relationship with God.
