Discovery Class Session 8 Homework

This assignment works differently than earlier weeks. There is no single right answer to check against, so there is no response guide to reveal. Instead, you will use the tools you have built up all course on one passage and write down what you find.

Due at Session 9. Since we do not meet on Labor Day weekend, that gives you two weeks.

3 John 9–12

I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church. Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God. Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

Before you write

You've already received many tools throughout this course, be sure to use them as you complete this assignment:

• Read the passage closely, and note its context.
• Keep the historical background in mind.
• Do a word study on a few key terms that stand out to you.
• Check two good commentaries on the passage.

Assignment: Write out 7–10 truths from this passage. Then write out 7–10 principles.
