3 John 1:9-10 I wrote a letter to the church there, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first in importance among the members of the body there, does not receive us i.e., he did not listen to or acknowledge the authority of us apostles.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ I wrote a letter to the church [there], but Diotrephes, who loves to be first [in importance] among the members [of the body there], does not receive us [i.e., he did not listen to or acknowledge the authority of us apostles]. ¹⁰ So, if I come [to visit you], I will remind you of what he is doing, [such as] using wicked words to talk nonsense against us [apostles]. And, not being satisfied with that, he [also] refuses to welcome the [other] brothers, and prevents [other] people from doing so [i.e., from welcoming these brothers], and even kicks them out of the church [for trying to].
