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. 3 John 1:11 (NIV)
My reflection of the verse
Many people find it very easy to follow what is evil than doing what is good. We may see that a lot of us would rather imitate others who devote their time in worldly desires. For instance, not following the law on Sabbath but would rather spend time with something else. With this verse God is telling us that we should avoid doing evil but instead we should do what is pleasing in the eyes of our Almighty God. It is explicitly stated in this verse that those who do good belong to God while those who are doing evil have not seen Him or refuse to be His. Hence, I think man should chose to do what God commands us to do.
