3 John 1
1 The elder, to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.
2 Dear one, I pray for you to prosper in every way and to be healthy, just as your 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 Because it gave me great joy when some brothers came and testified to the truth about you, how you are walking 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 to hear that my children are walking in Truth.
Greater than these things not I have (joy *NK(O)*) that I may hear of my children in (the *no*) truth walking.
5 Dear one, you are faithful in whatever you do for the brothers, and for the 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 testified to your love before the church—you will do well by sending them on their way in a manner worthy of God,
who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.
7 because it was for the sake of the Name that they went out, accepting nothing from pagans.
On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N(k)O*)
8 We therefore ought to welcome such, so that we may work together for 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 to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who wants to dominate the others, does not acknowledge us.
I have written (something *no*) to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them Diotrephes not welcomes us.
10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, slandering us with malignant words. And not satisfied with that, not only does he himself not receive the brothers, but he forbids those who want to do so, kicking them out of the congregation.
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 Dear one, do not imitate what is bad, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who 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 is well spoken of by everyone—even by the truth itself. Yes, we also speak well of him, and we know that our testimony 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, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;
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 rather I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here greet you. Greet the friends there by name.
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.
