Diotrephes

Looking for Hebrew H1361 gâbahh? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G1361. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

Diotrephḗs appears once in Scripture, in 3 John 1:9. In the Doxa app, open that verse, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
