3 John 1

1The elderG4245 to the belovedG27 GaiusG1050, whom I loveG25 in truthG225. 2BelovedG27, I desire that in all thingsG3956 thou shouldest prosper and be in healthG5198, evenG2532 as thy soulG5590 prospers. 3For I rejoicedG5463 exceedinglyG3029 when [the] brethren cameG2064 and bore testimony to thy [holding fast the] truthG225, evenG2532 as thou walkest in truthG225. 4I have no greaterG3173 joyG5479 than these thingsG3778 that I hearG191 of my childrenG5043 walkingG4043 in the truthG225. 5BelovedG27, thou doest faithfully [in] whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangersG3581, 6(who have witnessedG3140 of thy loveG26 before [the] assemblyG1577,) in setting forward whom on their journey worthilyG516 of 1GodG2316, thou wilt do wellG2573; 7for for the nameG3686 have they goneG1831 forthG1831, takingG2983 nothingG3367 of those of the nations. 8We thereforeG3767 oughtG3784 to receive suchG5108, that we may be fellow-workers with the truthG225. 9I wroteG1125 somethingG5100 to the assemblyG1577; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, receives us not. 10For this reason, if I comeG2064, I will bring to remembranceG5279 his worksG2041 which he does, babbling against us with wickedG4190 wordsG3056; and not contentG714 with these, neither does he himself receive the brethren; and those who would he prevents, and casts [them] out of the assemblyG1577. 11BelovedG27, do not imitateG3401 what isG1510 evilG2556, but what isG1510 goodG18. He that does goodG18 isG1510 of 2GodG2316. He that does evilG2556 has not seenG3708 3GodG2316. 12DemetriusG1216 has witnessG3140 borne to him by all, and by the truthG225 itself; and we alsoG2532 bearG3140 witnessG3140, and thou knowest that our witnessG3140 isG1510 trueG227. 13I had manyG4183 thingsG4183 to writeG1125 to thee, but I will not with inkG3188 and pen writeG1125 to thee; 14but I hopeG1679 soon to seeG3708 thee, and we will speakG2980 mouthG4750 to mouthG4750. Peace [be] to thee. The friends greet thee. Greet the friends by name.
