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, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.

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 brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk 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 about my children walking in 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, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.

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

They have testified about your love before the church. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God,

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

because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the non-believers.

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 receive such, 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 loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

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 call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws 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 who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't 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.

Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony 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 you, but I am unwilling to write to you 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 you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
