Greeting to Gaius from the Elder
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
Greeting to Gaius
The Elder,
To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:
The Elder,
To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:
Beloved, I desire that in all things thou shouldest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
For I rejoiced exceedingly when [the] brethren came and bore testimony to thy [holding fast the] truth, even as *thou* walkest in truth.
For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.
I have no greater joy than these things that I hear of my children walking in the truth.
Gaius' Example of Hospitality
Beloved, thou doest faithfully [in] whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,
Beloved, thou doest faithfully [in] whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,
(who have witnessed of thy love before [the] assembly,) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;
who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,
for for the name have they gone forth, taking nothing of those of the nations.
because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
*We* therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-workers with the truth.
Diotrephes and Demetrius
I wrote something to the assembly; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, receives us not.

Diotrephes and Demetrius
I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.
I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.
For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, babbling against us with wicked words; and not content with these, neither does he himself receive the brethren; and those who would he prevents, and casts [them] out of the assembly.
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He that does good is of God. He that does evil has not seen God.
Demetrius has witness borne to him by all, and by the truth itself; and *we* also bear witness, and thou knowest that our witness is true.

Farewell Greeting
I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;
