GIGAKJVBeloved, do not imitate evil, but good. Whoever does good is of God. Whoever does evil has not seen God.

KJVDemetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

KJVI had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
