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 to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in 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 pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.

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

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

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 for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from 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 may be fellow workers for 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 to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first amongst them, doesn’t accept what we say.

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

Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.

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, don’t 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 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 has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony 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 to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;

but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
