3 John 11
King James Version (KJV)
“11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil (idolatry, vanity, etc..), but that which is good (of courage, fortifying, strengthening, etc..). He that doeth good (of courage, fortifying, strengthening, etc..) is of God (Elohim, the Great or Majestic Ones): but he that doeth evil (idolatry, vanity, etc..) hath not seen God (Elohim, the Great or Majestic Ones).”
And we shall know them, among the ranks, by their fruits. Amein.
