For1063 I rejoiced5463 greatly3029, when the brethren80 came2064 and2532 testified3140 of the truth225 that is in thee4675, even as2531 thou4771 walkest4043 in1722 the truth225.

Beloved27, thou doest4160 faithfully4103 whatsoever3739 thou doest2038 to1519 the brethren80, and2532 to1519 strangers3581;

1:10

Wherefore1223, if1437 I come2064, I will remember5279 his846 deeds2041 which3739 he doeth4160, prating against5396 us2248 with3056 malicious words4190: and2532 not3361 content714 therewith1909, neither3777 doth1926 he himself846 receive1926 the brethren80, and2532 forbiddeth2967 them that would1014, and2532 casteth1544 them out of1537 the assembly1577.
