 * 1-4 He commends Gais for his piety, 

 5,6 and hospitality 

 7,8 to true preachers 

 9,10 complaining of the unkind dealing of ambitious Diotrophes 
on 

 the contrary side. 

 11 whose evil example is not to be followed 

 12-14 and gives special testimony to the good report of 
Demetrius

 This is a literal and proper rendering of the original [] by 
which 

 the antecedent to the possessive pronoun {his}, in the next 
verse 

 becomes immediately apparent. In a manner worthy of God, and of 

 your relations and obligations to Him, and such as He can 
approve.

 * who loveth 

 * [] `who loveth the presidency,' or chief place, doubtless in 
the 

 church, of which Diotrephes was most probably an officer; and 

 being one, magnified himself in his office; he loved such 

 pre-eminence, and behaved haughtily in it.
