3JO-1:1  The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in 
the truth.

3JO-1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest 
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

3JO-1:3  For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and 
testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in 
the truth.

3JO-1:4  I have no greater joy than to hear that my children 
walk in truth.

3JO-1:5  Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to 
the brethren, and to strangers;

3JO-1:6  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:

3JO-1:7  Because that for his name's sake they went forth, 
taking nothing of the Gentiles.

3JO-1:8  We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be 
fellowhelpers to the truth.

3JO-1:9  I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to 
have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

3JO-1:10  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.

3JO-1:11  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.

3JO-1:12  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.

3JO-1:13  I had many things to write, but I will not with ink 
and pen write unto thee:

3JO-1:14  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.
