Diotrephes is the church figure criticized in 3 John for prideful refusal and hostility toward apostolic authority. He belongs to the New Testament's warning examples of leadership gone wrong. First appears in 3 John 1:9.1
AI summary: Diotrephes matters because his single cross reference gives the church a sharply personal example of ambition, exclusion, and resistance to truth within Christian community. The entry shows that the New Testament addresses internal abuse of influence as well as external opposition. Taken together, the material presents Diotrephes as a cautionary figure in the life of the early church.1
