The Third Letter Of John
 
   1:1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
 
   1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in
   health, just as your soul prospers.
 
   1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brothers came and testified of
   the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.
 
   1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
 
   1:5 Beloved, you are doing faithfully whatsoever you are doing to the
   brothers, and to strangers;
 
   1:6 Which have borne witness of your love before the church: whom if
   you bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, you shall do
   well:
 
   1:7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing
   of the Gentiles.
 
   1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow
   helpers to the truth.
 
   1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the
   preeminence among them, receives us not.
 
   1:10 Therefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does,
   prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith,
   neither does he himself receive the brothers, and forbids them that
   would, and casts them out of the church.
 
   1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good.
   He that does good is of God: but he that does evil has not seen God.
 
   1:12 Demetrius has good report of all men, and of the truth itself:
   yes, and we also bear record; and you know that our record is true.
 
   1:13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write
   unto you:
 
   1:14 But I trust I shall shortly see you, and we shall speak face to
   face. Peace be to you. Our friends salute you. Greet the friends by
   name.
