He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. 12Demetrius hath good report by all [men], and by the truth itself: and we [also] bear testimony; and ye know that our testimony is true. 13I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee: 14But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] to thee. [Our] friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
