11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
11 Beloved, G27 follow G3401 not G3361 that which is evil, G2556 but G235 that which is good. G18 He that doeth good G15 is G2076 of G1537 God: G2316 but G1161 he that doeth evil G2554 hath G3708 not G3756 seen G3708 God. G2316
11 Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
11 Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil hath not seen God;
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He that does good is of God. He that does evil has not seen God.
11 Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.
11 My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He 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. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

An Exposition, With Practical Observations, of
The Third Epistle of John
Chapter 1
In this epistle the apostle congratulates Gaius upon the prosperity of his soul (v. 1, 2), upon the fame he had among good Christians (v. 3, 4), and upon his charity and hospitality to the servants of Christ (v. 5, 6). He complains of contemptuous treatment by an ambitious Diotrephes (v. 9, 10), recommends Demetrius (v. 12), and expresses his hope of visiting Gaius shortly (v. 13, 14).
