3 εχαρην γαρ λιαν ερχομενων αδελφων και μαρτυρουντων σου τη αληθεια καθωσ συ εν αληθεια περιπατεισ
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.

Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK(O)*) that I may hear of my children in (the *no*) truth walking.
5 αγαπητε πιστον ποιεισ ο εαν εργαση εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και εισ τουσ ξενουσ
Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k*) (that [thing] *N(k)O*) strangers,
6 οι εμαρτυρησαν σου τη αγαπη ενωπιον εκκλησιασ ουσ καλωσ ποιησεισ προπεμψασ αξιωσ του θεου
who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
7 υπερ γαρ του ονοματοσ εξηλθον μηδεν λαμβανοντεσ απο των εθνων
On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N(k)O*)
8 ημεισ ουν οφειλομεν απολαμβανειν τουσ τοιουτουσ ινα συνεργοι γινωμεθα τη αληθεια
We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N(k)O*) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.

I have written (something *no*) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
10 δια τουτο εαν ελθω υπομνησω αυτου τα εργα α ποιει λογοισ πονηροισ φλυαρων ημασ και μη αρκουμενοσ επι τουτοισ ουτε αυτοσ επιδεχεται τουσ αδελφουσ και τουσ βουλομενουσ κωλυει και εκ τησ εκκλησιασ εκβαλλει
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.
11 αγαπητε μη μιμου το κακον αλλα το αγαθον ο αγαθοποιων εκ του θεου εστιν ο κακοποιων ουχ εωρακεν τον θεον
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.

To Demetrius witness has been given by all and by itself the truth; and we ourselves also bear witness, and (you know *N(k)O*) that the testimony of us true is.
13 πολλα ειχον γραφειν αλλ ου θελω δια μελανοσ και καλαμου σοι γραψαι
Many things I had (to write *N(k)O*) (to you, *no*) but not I desire with ink and pen to you (to write; *N(k)O*)
