3 John 1
1 THE presbyter unto Gaios my beloved, whom I love in truth.
ο πρεσβυτερος γαιω τω αγαπητω ον εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια
2 Our beloved, in all things I pray for thee, that thou mayest prosper and be healthful, even as thy soul prospereth.
αγαπητε περι παντων ευχομαι σε ευοδουσθαι και υγιαινειν καθως ευοδουται σου η ψυχη
3 For I have rejoiced greatly when the brethren have come, and have testified concerning thy integrity, even as in the truth thou walkest.
εχαρην γαρ λιαν ερχομενων αδελφων και μαρτυρουντων σου τη αληθεια καθως συ εν αληθεια περιπατεις
4 And greater joy than this I have not (than) when I hear that my sons walk in the truth.
μειζοτεραν τουτων ουκ εχω χαραν ινα ακουω τα εμα τεκνα εν αληθεια περιπατουντα
5 Our beloved, in faithfulness thou performest what thou doest unto the brethren, and especially to those who are strangers,
αγαπητε πιστον ποιεις ο εαν εργαση εις τους αδελφους και εις τους ξενους
6 who have testified of thy charity, before all the church, to whom thou hast done well according to that which is worthy of Aloha.
οι εμαρτυρησαν σου τη αγαπη ενωπιον εκκλησιας ους καλως ποιησεις προπεμψας αξιως του θεου
7 For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
υπερ γαρ του ονοματος αυτου εξηλθον μηδεν λαμβανοντες απο των εθνων
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be helpers of the truth.
ημεις ουν οφειλομεν απολαμβανειν τους τοιουτους ινα συνεργοι γινωμεθα τη αληθεια
9 I would have written to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost of you, Diotrapas, receiveth us not.
εγραψα τη εκκλησια αλλ ο φιλοπρωτευων αυτων διοτρεφης ουκ επιδεχεται ημας
10 On account of this, if I come, I will remember the works which he doeth, who words of evil maketh concerning us; and these not satisfying him, he hath not received the brethren, and those who receive he forbiddeth, and also expelleth from the church.
δια τουτο εαν ελθω υπομνησω αυτου τα εργα α ποιει λογοις πονηροις φλυαρων ημας και μη αρκουμενος επι τουτοις ουτε αυτος επιδεχεται τους αδελφους και τους βουλομενους κωλυει και εκ της εκκλησιας εκβαλλει
11 Our beloved, be not imitative of the evil, but of the good. He who doeth good is of Aloha, and he who doeth evil hath not seen Aloha.
αγαπητε μη μιμου το κακον αλλα το αγαθον ο αγαθοποιων εκ του θεου εστιν ο δε κακοποιων ουχ εωρακεν τον θεον
12 Concerning Demetrios is a testimony from every man, and from the church, and from the truth itself. But we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.
δημητριω μεμαρτυρηται υπο παντων και υπ αυτης της αληθειας και ημεις δε μαρτυρουμεν και οιδατε οτι η μαρτυρια ημων αληθης εστιν
13 I have many things which I would write to thee, but I will not with ink and reed write to thee.
πολλα ειχον γραφειν αλλ ου θελω δια μελανος και καλαμου σοι γραψαι
14 But I hope that soon I shall see thee, and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace be with thee. The friends ask thy peace. Ask the peace of the friends each by his name.
ελπιζω δε ευθεως ιδειν σε και στομα προς στομα λαλησομεν ειρηνη σοι ασπαζονται σε οι φιλοι ασπαζου τους φιλους κατ ονομα
