1
The elderG4245 to the well belovedG27 Gaius,G1050 whomG3739 I loveG25 in the truth.G225
2
Beloved,G27 I wishG2172 aboveG4012 allG3956 things that you may prosperG2137 and be in health,G5198 evenG2531 as your soulG5590 prospers.G2137
3
For I rejoicedG5463 greatly,G3029 when the brothersG80 cameG2064 and testifiedG3140 of the truthG225 that is in you, evenG2531 as you walkG4043 in the truth.G225
4
I haveG2192 noG3756 greaterG3186 joyG5479 than to hearG191 that my childrenG5043 walkG4043 in truth.G225
5
Beloved,G27 you doG4160 faithfullyG4103 whateverG3739 G1437 you doG4160 to the brothers,G80 and to strangers;G3581
6
WhichG3739 haveG2192 borne witnessG3140 of your charityG26 beforeG1799 the church:G1577 whomG3739 if you bringG4311 forwardG4311 on their journey afterG516 a godlyG516 G2316 sort,G516 you shall doG4160 well:G2573
7
BecauseG1063 that for his name'sG3686 sake they wentG1831 forth,G1831 takingG2983 nothingG3367 of the Gentiles.G1484
8
We thereforeG3767 oughtG3784 to receiveG618 such,G5108 that we might be fellow helpersG4904 to the truth.G225
9
I wroteG1125 to the church:G1577 but Diotrephes,G1361 whoG3588 lovesG5383 to have the preeminenceG5383 amongG1722 them, receivesG1926 us not.
10
Why,G1223 G5124 ifG1437 I come,G2064 I will rememberG5279 his deedsG2041 which he does,G4160 pratingG5396 againstG5396 us with maliciousG4190 words:G3056 and not contentG714 therewith,G1909 G5125 neitherG3777 does he himselfG846 receiveG1926 the brothers,G80 and forbidsG2967 them that would,G1014 and castsG1544 them out of the church.G1577
11
Beloved,G27 followG3401 not that which is evil,G2556 but that which is good.G18 He that doesG15 goodG15 is of God:G2316 but he that doesG2554 evilG2554 has not seenG3708 God.G2316
12
DemetriusG1216 has good reportG3140 of allG3956 men, and of the truthG225 itself:G846 yes,G1161 and we alsoG2532 bear record;G3140 and you knowG1492 that our recordG3141 is true.G227
13
I hadG2192 manyG4183 things to write,G1125 but I willG2309 not with inkG3188 and penG2563 writeG1125 to you:
14
But I trustG1679 I shall shortlyG2112 seeG1492 you, and we shall speakG2980 faceG4750 to face.G4750 PeaceG1515 be to you. Our friendsG5384 saluteG782 you. GreetG782 the friendsG5384 by name.G3686
