9 I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth them out of the church.
My point is not that you should come out, but in many instances you may be cast out, and that was of the Lord. I think it is clear that those in Philadelphia had been very grieved at having to go out previously, hence the promise that they wouldn't have to again.
