3 John 1

1 The elder To Gaius the beloved whom I myself love in truth.

The elder to 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, in all things I pray that thou mayst prosper and be in health, 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 bore witness to thy truth, 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.

I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children walk in the truth.

5 Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers and (for *k*) (that [thing] *N(k)O*) strangers,

Beloved, thou doest a faithful thing whatever thou doest to the brethren, and that to strangers,

6 who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do having set forward worthily of God.

who bore witness of thy love before the church; whom if thou send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, thou wilt do well.

7 On behalf for of the name they went forth nothing accepting from the (Gentile [people]. *N(k)O*)

For in behalf of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the gentiles.

8 We ourselves therefore ought (to receive *N(k)O*) such [men] so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.

We therefore ought to sustain such persons, that we may be fellow-workers for 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 something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence 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.

Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words; and not content therewith, he himself doth not receive the brethren, and those 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, do not imitate 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(k)O*) that the testimony of us true is.

To Demetrius testimony hath been borne by all, and by the truth itself; yea, we also bear witness, and ye know that our witness is true.

13 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*)

I had many things to write to thee, but I do not wish to write 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 to see thee immediately, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
