He that doeth good is of God: {G1161} he that doeth evil hath not seen God. 12 Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, {G2532} we also bear witness: and thou knowest that our witness is true. 13 I had many things to write unto thee, but I am {G2309} unwilling to write [them] to thee with ink and pen: 14 but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
