3 John 1

1 the/this/who elder: Elder Gaius the/this/who beloved which I/we to love in/on/among truth

THE elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

2 beloved about all to pray/wish for you to get along well and be healthy as/just as to get along well you the/this/who soul: myself

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

3 to rejoice for greatly to come/go brother and to testify you the/this/who truth as/just as you in/on/among truth to walk

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

4 great this/he/she/it no to have/be (joy *NK(O)*) in order that/to to hear the/this/who I/we child in/on/among (the/this/who *no*) truth to walk

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

5 beloved faithful to do/make: do which if to work toward the/this/who brother and (toward *k*) (this/he/she/it *N(k)O*) foreign

Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;

6 which to testify you the/this/who love before assembly which well to do/make: do to help on the way appropriately the/this/who God

Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:

7 above/for for the/this/who name to go out nothing to take away from the/this/who (Gentile-like *N(k)O*)

Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

8 me therefore/then to owe (to take up/suppose *N(k)O*) the/this/who such as this in order that/to co-worker to be the/this/who truth

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

9 to write (one *no*) the/this/who assembly but the/this/who to love to be first it/s/he Diotrephes no to welcome me

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

10 through/because of this/he/she/it if to come/go to remind it/s/he the/this/who work which to do/make: do word evil/bad to talk nonsense me and not be sufficient upon/to/against this/he/she/it neither it/s/he to welcome the/this/who brother and the/this/who to plan to prevent and out from the/this/who assembly to expel

Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

11 beloved not to imitate the/this/who evil/harm: evil but the/this/who good the/this/who to do good out from the/this/who God to be the/this/who (then *k*) to do evil/harm no to see: see the/this/who God

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

12 Demetrius to testify by/under: by all and by/under: by it/s/he the/this/who truth and me then to testify and (to know *N(k)O*) that/since: that the/this/who testimony me true to be

Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

13 much to have/be (to write *N(k)O*) (you *no*) but no to will/desire through/because of ink and reed/stick/pen you (to write *N(k)O*)

I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

14 to hope/expect then immediately you to perceive: see and mouth to/with mouth to speak peace you to pay respects to you the/this/who friendly/friend to pay respects to the/this/who friendly/friend according to name

But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
