3 John: Chapter 1


1The elderG4245 unto the wellbelovedG0027 GaiusG1050, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG0025 inG1722 the truthG0225.

2BelovedG0027, I wishG2172 aboveG4012 all thingsG3956 thatG2137 thouG4571 mayest prosperG2137 andG2532 be in healthG5198, even asG2531 thyG4675 soulG5590 prosperethG2137. 3ForG1063 I rejoicedG5463 greatlyG3029, when the brethrenG0080 cameG2064 andG2532 testified ofG3140 the truthG0225 that is in theeG4675, even asG2531 thouG4771 walkestG4043 inG1722 the truthG0225. 4I haveG2192 noG3756 greaterG3186 joyG5479 thanG2443 to hearG0191 that myG1699 childrenG5043 walkG4043 inG1722 truthG0225. 5BelovedG0027, thou doestG4160 faithfullyG4103 whatsoeverG3739 thou doestG2038 toG1519 the brethrenG0080, andG2532 toG1519 strangersG3581; 6WhichG3739 have borne witnessG3140 of thyG4675 charityG0026 beforeG1799 the churchG1577: whomG3739 if thou bring forward on their journeyG4311 afterG0516 a godly sortG2316, thou shalt doG4160 wellG2573: 7Because thatG1063 forG5228 hisG0846 names sakeG3686 they went forthG1831, takingG2983 nothingG3367 ofG0575 the GentilesG1484. 8WeG2249 thereforeG3767 oughtG3784 to receiveG0618 suchG5108, thatG2443 we might beG1096 fellowhelpersG4904 to the truthG0225.

9I wrote untoG1125 the churchG1577: butG0235 DiotrephesG1361, who loveth to have the preeminenceG5383 among themG0846, receivethG1926 usG2248 notG3756. 10WhereforeG5124, ifG1437 I comeG2064, I will rememberG5279 hisG0846 deedsG2041 whichG3739 he doethG4160, prating againstG5396 usG2248 withG3056 maliciousG4190 wordsG3056: andG2532 notG3361 contentG0714 therewithG5125, neitherG3777 dothG1926 he himselfG0846 receiveG1926 the brethrenG0080, andG2532 forbiddethG2967 them that wouldG1014, andG2532 castethG1544 them out ofG1537 the churchG1577.

11BelovedG0027, followG3401 notG3361 that which isG3588 evilG2556, butG0235 that which isG3588 goodG0018. HeG3588 that doeth goodG0015 isG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316: butG1161 heG3588 that doeth evilG2554 hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 GodG2316. 12 DemetriusG1216 hath good reportG3140 ofG5259 allG3956 men , andG2532 ofG5259 the truthG0225 itselfG0846: yeaG1161, andG2532 weG2249 also bear recordG3140; andG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 ourG2257 recordG3141 isG2076 trueG0227.

13I hadG2192 many thingsG4183 to writeG1125, butG0235 I willG2309 notG3756 withG1223 inkG3188 andG2532 penG2563 writeG1125 unto theeG4671: 14ButG1161 I trustG1679 I shallG1492 shortlyG2112 seeG1492 theeG4571, andG2532 we shall speakG2980 faceG4750 toG4314 faceG4750. PeaceG1515 be to theeG4671. Our friendsG5384 saluteG0782 theeG4571. GreetG0782 the friendsG5384 byG2596 nameG3686.
