I wrote unto the Church

The best texts insert Ï„Î¹ somewhat, which indicates that the apostle did not regard the communication as specially important.

Diotrephes (Î”Î¹Î¿Ï„ÏÎµÏ†Î·Ì€Ï‚)

The name is from Î”Î¹ÌÎ¿Ï‚ of Zeus (Jove), and Ï„ÏÎµÌÏ†Ï‰ to nourish, and means Jove-nursed.

Who loveth to have the pre-eminence (Î¿Ì” Ï†Î¹Î»Î¿Ï€ÏÏ‰Ï„ÎµÏ…ÌÏ‰Î½)

From the adjective Ï†Î¹Î»Î¿ÌÏ€ÏÏ‰Ï„Î¿Ï‚ fond of being first. The word occurs here only.
