The Elder to Gaius
the beloved, whom I love in truth !
The elder ,
To the beloved Gaius
, whom I love in the
truth :
beloved, concerning
all
things
I desire
thee
to
prosper ,
and to
be
in
health, even
as thy
soul doth
prosper,
Beloved, I pray
that
in
every
way
you
may
prosper and enjoy
good
health, as your
soul also
prospers.
for I rejoiced
exceedingly,
brethren
coming
and testifying
of
the truth in
thee
, even
as
thou
in truth
dost
walk ;
For I was
overjoyed
when
the
brothers
came
and testified
about
your
devotion
to
the truth, in which
you
continue
to
walk .
greater
than
these
things
I have no joy ,
that
I
may
hear of
my children in truth walking
.
I have no greater
joy than
to
hear that
my children are
walking
in the
truth.
Beloved, faithfully
dost
thou
do
whatever
thou
mayest
work
to
the brethren
and to
the
strangers ,
Beloved, you
are
faithful
in
what
you
are
doing
for
the brothers,
and especially
since
they
are
strangers to
you.
who
did
testify
of
thy
love before
an
assembly,
whom
thou
wilt
do well ,
having
sent
forward
worthily
of God ,
They
have
testified
to
the
church
about
your
love .
You
will
do well to
send
them
on
their
way
in
a
manner
worthy
of God .
because
for `His'
name
they went forth
, nothing receiving
from the nations;
For they went out
on
behalf
of
the
Name
, accepting
nothing from the Gentiles.
we ,
then,
ought to receive
such, that fellow-workers
we may become
to
the truth.
Therefore
we ought to support
such men
, so
that we may be
fellow
workers
for
the truth.
I did
write
to the assembly
, but he
who is
loving
the
first place
among
them
--
Diotrephes
--
doth
not receive
us;
I have
written
to the church
about
this
, but Diotrephes,
who loves
to
be
first ,
will
not accept
our
instruction.
because
of
this,
if I may
come, I will cause
him
to remember
his works
that
he
doth,
with
evil
words
prating
against us ;
and not
content
with these
, neither
doth
he himself
receive
the brethren,
and those intending
he
doth
forbid
, and
out of the assembly
he
doth
cast
.
So
if I come, I will call
attention
to his malicious
slander
against us .
And unsatisfied
with that
, he refuses
to
welcome
the brothers
and forbids
those who
want
to
do
so
, even
putting
them
out of the church
.
Beloved, be
not thou
following
that
which
is evil, but that
which
is good ;
he
who is
doing
good ,
of God he
is,
and
he
who is
doing
evil hath
not seen God ;
Beloved, do
not imitate
what
is evil, but what
is good .
The
one
who does
good is
of God ;
the
one
who does
evil has
not seen God .
to
Demetrius testimony hath
been
given
by
all
, and by
the truth itself ,
and
we also --
we
do
testify, and ye
have
known
that our testimony is true.
Demetrius has
received
a
good
testimony from
everyone
, and from
the truth itself .
We also testify for
him
, and you
know
that our testimony is true.
Many things I
had
to write, but I do
not wish
through
ink
and
pen
to write
to
thee,
I
have
many things to write to
you
, but I would
prefer
not to do
so
with
pen
and
ink.
and
I hope straightway
to see thee,
and mouth
to
mouth
we
shall
speak. Peace to thee!
salute
thee
do
the friends ;
be
saluting
the
friends by name.
Instead,
I hope to see you
soon
and speak with
you
face
to
face
. Peace to you.
The friends here
send
you
greetings.
Greet
each
of
our
friends there
by name.
