3 John 1
1 The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.
The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.
Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 I rejoiced for exceedingly when were coming [the] brothers and those bearing witness from you to the to truth, even as you yourself in truth are walking.
For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
4 Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK+O) that I may hear of my children in (the *no) truth walking.
Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
5 Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k) (that [thing] *N+kO) strangers,
Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
6 who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
7 On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N+kO)
because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N+kO) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.
We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
9 I have written (something *no) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
10 Because of this, if I shall come, I will bring to remembrance of him the works which he is doing, with words evil prating against us; and not being satisfied with these, neither himself he receives the brothers, and those purposing he forbids and from the church he casts [them] out.
Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth, and casteth [them] out of the church.
11 Beloved, not do imitate what [is] evil but what [is] good. The [one] doing good of God is; the [one] (now *k) doing evil not has seen God.
Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
12 To Demetrius witness has been given by all and by itself the truth; and we ourselves also bear witness, and (you know *N+kO) that the testimony of us true is.
Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest that our witness is true.
13 Many things I had (to write *N+kO) (to you, *no) but not I desire with ink and pen to you (to write; *N+kO)
I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] to thee with ink and pen:
14 I hope however soon you to see and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace to you. Greet you the friends. do greet the friends by name.
but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
