3 John 1

1The elderG4245 unto the wellbelovedG27 GaiusG1050, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25 inG1722 the truthG225. 2BelovedG27, I wishG2172 aboveG4012 all thingsG3956 thatG2137 thouG4771 mayest prosperG2137 andG2532 be in healthG5198, even asG2531 thyG4771 soulG3588G5590 prosperethG2137. 3ForG1063 I rejoicedG5463 greatlyG3029, when the brethrenG80 cameG2064 andG2532 testified ofG3140 the truthG3588G225 that is in theeG4771, even asG2531 thouG4771 walkestG4043 inG1722 the truthG225. 4

I haveG2192 noG3756 greaterG3173 joyG5479 thanG2443 to hearG191 that myG1699 childrenG5043 walkG4043 inG1722 truthG225. 5BelovedG27, thou doestG4160 faithfullyG4103 whatsoeverG3739 thou doestG2038 toG1519 the brethrenG3588G80, andG2532 toG1519 strangersG3581; 6WhichG3739 have borne witnessG3140 of thyG4771 charityG3588G26 beforeG1799 the AssemblyG1577: whomG3739 if thou bring forward on their journeyG4311 afterG516 a godly sortG3588G2316, thou shalt doG4160 wellG2573:

7Because thatG1063 forG5228 hisG846 name’s sakeG3588G3686 they went forthG1831, takingG2983 nothingG3367 ofG575 the GentilesG3588G1484. 8

WeG1473 thereforeG3767 oughtG3784 to receiveG618 suchG5108, thatG2443 we might beG1096 fellowhelpersG4904 to the truthG3588G225. 9

I wrote untoG1125 the AssemblyG3588G1577: butG235 DiotrephesG1361, who loveth to have the preeminenceG5383 among themG846, receivethG1926 usG1473 notG3756. 10WhereforeG3778, ifG1437 I comeG2064, I will rememberG5279 hisG846 deedsG3588G2041 whichG3739 he doethG4160, prating againstG5396 usG1473 withG3056 maliciousG4190 wordsG3056: andG2532 notG3361 contentG714 therewithG3778, neitherG3777 dothG1926 he himselfG846 receiveG1926 the brethrenG3588G80, andG2532 forbiddethG2967 them that wouldG1014, andG2532 castethG1544 them out ofG1537 the AssemblyG3588G1577. 11BelovedG27, followG3401 notG3361 that which isG3588 evilG2556, butG235 that which isG3588 goodG18. HeG3588 that doeth goodG15 isG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316: butG1161 heG3588 that doeth evilG2554 hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 GodG3588G2316. 12DemetriusG1216 hath good reportG3140 ofG5259 allG3956 men, andG2532 ofG5259 the truthG3588G225 itselfG846: yeaG1161, andG2532 weG1473 also bear recordG3140; andG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ourG1473 recordG3588G3141 isG1510 trueG227. 13I hadG2192 many thingsG4183 to writeG1125, butG235 I willG2309 notG3756 withG1223 inkG3188 andG2532 penG2563 writeG1125 unto theeG4771: 14ButG1161 I trustG1679 I shallG3708 shortlyG2112 seeG3708 theeG4771, andG2532 we shall speakG2980 faceG4750 toG4314 faceG4750. PeaceG1515 be to theeG4771. Our friendsG5384 saluteG782 theeG4771. GreetG782 the friendsG5384 byG2596 nameG3686.
