3 John

The Gospel of 3 John is a brief letter from the apostle John, likely written in the late first century AD. It is a pastoral letter, with a focus on two main figures: Demetrius, who is commended for his hospitality to John and his church, and Diotrephes, who expelled faithful followers and rejected John's authority. The letter encourages unity and obedience in the body of Christ and warns against division and disobedience perpetrated by those who claim to be leaders. In summary, 3 John emphasizes the importance of obedience to Christ, unity in the church, and faithful leadership in accordance with Christ's teaching.
