[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 elder G4245 unto the wellbeloved G27 Gaius, G1050 whom G3739 I G1473 love G25 (PresActInd) in G1722 the truth. G225§ [2] Beloved, G27 I wish G2172 (PresMidPasDepInd)§ above G4012 all things G3956 that thou G4571 mayest prosper G2137 (PresPasInf) and G2532 be in health, G5198 (PresActInf) even as G2531 thy G4675 soul G5590 prospereth. G2137 (PresPasInd) [3] For G1063 I rejoiced G5463 (Aor2PasDepInd) greatly, G3029 when the brethren G80 came G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc) and G2532 testified G3140 (PresActPtc) of the truth G225 that is in thee, G4675 even as G2531 thou G4771 walkest G4043 (PresActInd) in G1722 the truth. G225 [4] I have G2192 (PresActInd) no G3756 greater G3186 joy G5479 than to G2443 hear G191 (PresActSubj) that my G1699 children G5043 walk G4043 (PresActPtc) in G1722 truth. G225 [5] Beloved, G27 thou doest G4160 (PresActInd) faithfully G4103 whatsoever G3739 thou doest G2038 (AorMidDepSubj) to G1519 the brethren, G80 and G2532 to G1519 strangers; G3581 [6] which G3739 have borne witness G3140 (AorActInd) of thy G4675 charity G26 before G1799 the church: G1577 whom G3739 if thou bring forward on their journey G4311 (AorActPtc) after G516 a godly G2316 sort, G516 thou shalt do G4160 (FutActInd) well: G2573 [7] because that G1063 for G5228 his G846 name’s G3686 sake G5228 they went forth, G1831 (Aor2ActInd) taking G2983 (PresActPtc) nothing G3367 of G575 the Gentiles. G1484 [8] We G2249 therefore G3767 ought G3784 (PresActInd) to receive G618 (PresActInf) such, G5108 that G2443 we might be G1096 (PresMidPasDepSubj) fellowhelpers G4904 to the truth. G225 [9] I wrote G1125 (AorActInd) unto the church: G1577 but G235 Diotrephes, G1361 who G3588 loveth to have the preeminence G5383 (PresActPtc) among them, G846 receiveth G1926 (PresMidPasDepInd) us G2248 not. G3756 [10] Wherefore, G1223 if G1437 I come, G2064 (Aor2ActSubj) I will remember G5279 (FutActInd) his G846 deeds G2041 which G3739 he doeth, G4160 (PresActInd) prating against G5396 (PresActPtc) us G2248 with malicious G4190 words: G3056 and G2532 not G3361 content G714 (PresPasPtc) therewith, G1909 neither G3777 doth G1926 he himself G846 receive G1926 (PresMidPasDepInd) the brethren, G80 and G2532 forbiddeth G2967 (PresActInd) them that would, G1014 (PresMidPasDepPtc) and G2532 casteth G1544 (PresActInd) them out of G1537 the church. G1577 [11] Beloved, G27 follow G3401 (PresMidPasDepImpr) not G3361 that which is evil, G2556 but G235 that which is good. G18 He that doeth good G15 (PresActPtc) is G2076 (PresInd) of G1537 God: G2316 but G1161 he that doeth evil G2554 (PresActPtc) hath G3708 not G3756 seen G3708 (PerfActInd) God. G2316 [12] Demetrius G1216 hath good report G3140 (PerfPasInd) of G5259 all G3956 men, and G2532 of G5259 the truth G225 itself: G846 yea, G1161 and G2532 we G2249 also bear record; G3140 (PresActInd) and G2532 ye know G1492 (PerfActInd) that G3754 our G2257 record G3141 is G2076 (PresInd) true. G227 [13] I had G2192 (ImpfActInd) many things G4183 to write, G1125 (PresActInf) but G235 I will G2309 (PresActInd) not G3756 with G1223 ink G3188 and G2532 pen G2563 write G1125 (AorActInf) unto thee: G4671 [14] but G1161 I trust G1679 (PresActInd) I shall G1492 shortly G2112 see G1492 (Aor2ActInf) thee, G4571 and G2532 we shall speak G2980 (FutActInd) face G4750 to G4314 face. G4750§ Peace G1515 be to thee. G4671 Our friends G5384 salute G782 (PresMidPasDepInd) thee. G4571 Greet G782 (PresMidPasDepImpr) the friends G5384 by G2596 name. G3686
