3 John 1:11-14

사랑하는 이여, 악한 것을 본받지 말고, 선한 것을 본받으십시오. 선한 일을 하는 사람은 하나님에게서 난 사람이고, 악한 일을 하는 사람은 하나님을 뵙지 못한 사람입니다. 데메드리오는 모든 사람들에게 좋은 평을 받았고, 또 바로 그 진실한 삶으로 그러한 평을 받았습니다. 우리도 또한 그렇게 평합니다. 그대는 우리의 증언이 옳다는 것을 압니다. 그대에게 쓸 말이 많지만, 먹과 붓으로 써보내고 싶지 않습니다. 그대를 곧 만나게 되기를 바랍니다. 그러면 우리가 얼굴을 마주 보고 말하게 될 것입니다. 평화가 그대에게 있기를 빕니다. 친구들이 그대에게 문안합니다. 친구들 각 사람에게 문안하여 주십시오.Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone--and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true. I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.

What do we try to imitate in our lives? Is it a glamorous life that is filled with glories of this life ? Or are we TRULY seeking to imitate the way of life Jesus has lived while He was on this earth? We should keep in mind that Jesus's intention was good toward all people- even toward those who despised and did not follow Him. If we really want follow the footsteps of Jesus, then we should try to display the same goodness toward all people in all situations.
