3 John 1:11–13

¹⁶¶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

¹⁷Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

²⁷Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

¹BE ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

¹¹Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

¹³And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

²⁰For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

⁶Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

⁷Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

⁸He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

⁹Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

²⁹If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

¹⁰But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

²¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

²⁷My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

²⁶If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

⁶And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

¹⁴For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judæa are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

¹²That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

¹⁶Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

¹¹He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

¹BE ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

¹⁷Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

⁷Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

²⁴This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

²²And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

¹²And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

³⁵And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

¹²That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

¹²Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
