[1] The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth. [2] Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. [3] For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth. [4] I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth. [5] Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers. [6] They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God, [7] because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles. [8] We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth. [9] I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say. [10] Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly. [11] Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God. [12] Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true. [13] I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen; [14] but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face.Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
King James Version
[1] The elderG4245 unto the wellbelovedG27 Gaius,G1050 whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25(PresActInd) inG1722 the truth.G225 [2] Beloved,G27 I wishG2172(PresMidPasDepInd) aboveG4012 all thingsG3956 that thouG4571 mayest prosperG2137(PresPasInf) andG2532 be in health,G5198(PresActInf) even asG2531 thyG4675 soulG5590 prospereth.G2137(PresPasInd) [3] ForG1063 I rejoicedG5463(Aor2PasDepInd) greatly,G3029 when the brethrenG80 cameG2064(PresMidPasDepPtc) andG2532 testifiedG3140(PresActPtc) of the truthG225 that is in thee,G4675 even asG2531 thouG4771 walkestG4043(PresActInd) inG1722 the truth.G225 [4] I haveG2192(PresActInd) noG3756 greaterG3186 joyG5479 than toG2443 hearG191(PresActSubj) that myG1699 childrenG5043 walkG4043(PresActPtc) inG1722 truth.G225 [5] Beloved,G27 thou doestG4160(PresActInd) faithfullyG4103 whatsoeverG3739 thou doestG2038(AorMidDepSubj) toG1519 the brethren,G80 andG2532 toG1519 strangers;G3581 [6] WhichG3739 have borne witnessG3140(AorActInd) of thyG4675 charityG26 beforeG1799 the church:G1577 whomG3739 if thou bring forward on their journeyG4311(AorActPtc) afterG516 a godlyG2316 sort,G516 thou shalt doG4160(FutActInd) well:G2573 [7] Because thatG1063 forG5228 hisG846 name’sG3686 sakeG5228 they went forth,G1831(Aor2ActInd) takingG2983(PresActPtc) nothingG3367 ofG575 the Gentiles.G1484 [8] WeG2249 thereforeG3767 oughtG3784(PresActInd) to receiveG618(PresActInf) such,G5108 thatG2443 we might beG1096(PresMidPasDepSubj) fellowhelpersG4904 to the truth.G225 [9] I wroteG1125(AorActInd) unto the church:G1577 butG235 Diotrephes,G1361 whoG3588 loveth to have the preeminenceG5383(PresActPtc) among them,G846 receivethG1926(PresMidPasDepInd) usG2248 not.G3756 [10] Wherefore,G1223 ifG1437 I come,G2064(Aor2ActSubj) I will rememberG5279(FutActInd) hisG846 deedsG2041 whichG3739 he doeth,G4160(PresActInd) prating againstG5396(PresActPtc) usG2248 with maliciousG4190 words:G3056 andG2532 notG3361 contentG714(PresPasPtc) therewith,G1909 neitherG3777 dothG1926 he himselfG846 receiveG1926(PresMidPasDepInd) the brethren,G80 andG2532 forbiddethG2967(PresActInd) them that would,G1014(PresMidPasDepPtc) andG2532 castethG1544(PresActInd) [them] out ofG1537 the church.G1577 [11] Beloved,G27 followG3401(PresMidPasDepImpr) notG3361 that which is evil,G2556 butG235 that which is good.G18 He that doeth goodG15(PresActPtc) isG2076(PresInd) ofG1537 God:G2316 butG1161 he that doeth evilG2554(PresActPtc) hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708(PerfActInd) God.G2316 [12] DemetriusG1216 hath good reportG3140(PerfPasInd) ofG5259 allG3956 [men], andG2532 ofG5259 the truthG225 itself:G846 yea,G1161 andG2532 weG2249 [also] bear record;G3140(PresActInd) andG2532 ye knowG1492(PerfActInd) thatG3754 ourG2257 recordG3141 isG2076(PresInd) true.G227 [13] I hadG2192(ImpfActInd) many thingsG4183 to write,G1125(PresActInf) butG235 I willG2309(PresActInd) notG3756 withG1223 inkG3188 andG2532 penG2563 writeG1125(AorActInf) unto thee:G4671 [14] ButG1161 I trustG1679(PresActInd) I shallG1492 shortlyG2112 seeG1492(Aor2ActInf) thee,G4571 andG2532 we shall speakG2980(FutActInd) faceG4750 toG4314 face.G4750 PeaceG1515 [be] to thee.G4671 [Our] friendsG5384 saluteG782(PresMidPasDepInd) thee.G4571 GreetG782(PresMidPasDepImpr) the friendsG5384 byG2596 name.G3686
