  1  He commends Gaius for his piety,
 5  and hospitality,
 7  to true preachers;
 9  complaining of the unkind dealing of ambitious Diotrephes on
    the contrary side;
11  whose evil example is not to be followed;
12  and gives special testimony to the good report of Demetrius.

  This is a literal and proper rendering of the original [axios
  <516> tou <5120> theos <2316>;] 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.
  [Ho Philoproteuon] 'who loveth the presidency,' or chief

  probably an officer; and being one, magnified himself in his
  office: he loved such pre-eminence, and behaved haughtily in
  it.
