3 John 11


KJV
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

NKJV
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

NASB
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

NIV
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.

Amp.
Beloved, do not imitate evil, but imitate good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen (discerned or experience) God [has enjoyed no vision of Him and does not know Him at all].

Wuest
Beloved, do not have the habit of imitating the evil, but the good. The one who is in the habit of doing good is out of God. The one who is in the habit of doing evil has not seen God.

Phps.
Never let evil be your example, dear friend of mine, but good. The man who does good is God's man, but the man who does evil has never seen God.

Wms.
Dearly beloved, do not follow bad examples but good ones. Whoever practices doing right is God's child; whoever practices doing wrong has never seen God.
