2 Beloved, I desire that in all things thou shouldest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.
Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to do well and to be in good health even as does well your soul.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when [the] brethren came and bore testimony to thy [holding fast the] truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
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.
4 I have no greater joy than these things that I hear of my children walking in the truth.
Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK(O)*) that I may hear of my children in (the *no*) truth walking.
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully [in] whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,
Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k*) (that [thing] *N(k)O*) strangers,
6 (who have witnessed of thy love before [the] assembly, ) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;
who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
7 for for the name have they gone forth, taking nothing of those of the nations.

8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N(k)O*) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.
9 I wrote something to the assembly; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, receives us not.
I have written (something *no*) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
10 For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, babbling against us with wicked words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brethren; and those who would he prevents, and casts [them] out of the assembly.
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 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He that does good is of God. He that does evil has not seen God.
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.
12 Demetrius has witness borne to him by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear witness, and thou knowest that our witness is true.
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 I had many things to write to thee, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee;
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*)
14 but I hope soon to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace [be] to thee. The friends greet thee. Greet the friends by name.
