3 John · Ἰωάννου Γʹ

3 John 1:11

Ἀγαπητέ, μὴ μιμοῦ τὸ κακόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἀγαθόν. Ὁ ἀγαθοποιῶν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστίν· ὁ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακεν τὸν Θεόν.
Agapēte, mē mimoy to kakon, alla to agathon. O agathopoiōn ek toy Theoy estin· o kakopoiōn oych eōraken ton Theon.
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.
