I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

I sent a letter to the church, but Diotrephes, whose desire is ever to have the first place among them, will not have us there.

Εγραψα προς την εκκλησιαν· αλλ' ο φιλοπρωτευων αυτων Διοτρεφης δεν δεχεται ημας.

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
