3John 1





1. The elder <4245> unto the wellbeloved <0027> Gaius <1050>,
whom <3739> I love <0025> in the truth <0225>.



2 Beloved <0027>, I wish <2172> above <4012> all <3956> things
that thou mayest prosper <2137> and be in health < 5198>, even
<2531> as thy soul <5590> prospereth <2137>.



3. For I rejoiced <5463> greatly <3029>, when the brethren
<0080> came <2064> and testified <3140> of the truth <0225> that
is in thee, even <2531> as thou walkest <4043> in the truth
<0225>.



4 I have <2192> no <3756> greater <3186> joy <5479> than to
hear <0191> that my children <5043> walk <4043> in truth <0225>.



5 Beloved <0027>, thou doest <4160> faithfully < 4103>
whatsoever <1437> thou doest <4160> to the brethren <0080>, and
to strangers <3581>;



6 Which <3739> have borne witness <3140> of thy charity <0026>
before <1799> the church <1577>: whom <3739> if thou bring
<4311> forward <4311> on their journey after < 0516> a godly
<2316> sort <0516>, thou shalt do <4160> well <2573>:



7 Because <1063> that for his name's <3686> sake they went
<1831> forth <1831>, taking <2983> nothing < 3367> of the
Gentiles <1484>.



8 We therefore <3767> ought <3784> to receive < 0618> such
<5108>, that we might be fellowhelpers <4904> to the truth
<0225>.



9. I wrote <1125> unto the church <1577>: but Diotrephes <1361>,
who <3588> loveth <5383> to have the preeminence < 5383> among
<1722> them, receiveth <1926> us not.



10 Wherefore <3739>, if <1437> I come <2064>, I will remember
<5279> his deeds <2041> which <3739> he doeth <4160>, prating
<5396> against <5396> us with malicious <4190> words <3056>: and
not content <0714> therewith <5125>, neither < 3777> doth he
himself <0846> receive <1926> the brethren < 0080>, and
forbiddeth <2967> them that would <1014>, and casteth <1544>
[them] out of the church <1577>.



11 Beloved <0027>, follow <3401> not that which is evil <2556>,
but that which is good <0018>. He that doeth <0015> good <0015>
is of God <2316>: but he that doeth <2554> evil < 2554> hath not
seen <3780> God <2316>.



12. Demetrius <1216> hath good report <3140> of all <3956>
[men], and of the truth <0225> itself <0846>: yea < 1161>, and we
[also <2532>] bear record <3140>; and ye know < 1492> that our
record <3141> is true <0227>.



13 I had <2192> many <4183> things to write < 1125>, but I will
<2309> not with ink <3188> and pen <2563> write <1125> unto thee:



14 But I trust <1679> I shall shortly <2112> see <1492> thee,
and we shall speak <2980> face <4750> to face < 4750>. Peace
<1515> [be] to thee. [Our] friends <5384> salute < 0782> thee.
Greet <0782> the friends <5384> by name <3686>.
