3 John

  1 G4245 The elder G1050 to Gaius G27 the beloved, G3739 whom G1473 I G25 love G1722 in G225 truth.

  2 G27 Beloved, G2172 I pray G2137 that G4571 you G2137 may prosper G4012 in G3956 all things G2532 and G5198 be healthy, G2531 even as G4675 your G5590 soul G2137 prospers.

  3 G1063 For G5463 I rejoiced G3029 greatly, G80 when brothers G2064 came G2532 and G3140 testified about G4675 your G225 truth, G2531 even as G4675 you G4043 walk G1722 in G225 truth.

  4 G2192 I have G3756 no G3186 greater G5479 joy G2443 than G191 this, to hear G1699 about my G5043 children G4043 walking G1722 in G225 truth.

  5 G27 Beloved, G4160 you do G4103 a faithful G3739 work in whatever G2038 you accomplish G1519 for G80 those who are brothers G2532 and G1519   G3581 strangers.

  6 G3739 They G3140 have testified G4675 about your G26 love G1799 before G1577 the assembly. G4160 You will do G2573 well G3739 to send them G4311 forward on their journey G516 in a way worthy G2316 of God,

  7 G1063 because G5228 for G5228 the sake G846 of the G3686 Name G1831 they went out, G2983 taking G3367 nothing G575 from G1484 the Gentiles.

  8 G2249 We G3767 therefore G3784 ought G618 to receive G5108 such, G2443 that G1096 we may be G4904 fellow workers G225 for the truth.

  9 G1125 I wrote to G1577 the assembly, G235 but G1361 Diotrephes, G5383 who loves to be first G846 among them, G3756 doesn't G1926 accept G2248 what we say.

  10 G5124 Therefore, G1437 if G2064 I come, G5279 I will call attention G846 to his G2041 deeds G3739 which G4160 he does, G5396 unjustly accusing G2248 us G3056 with G4190 wicked G3056 words. G2532   G3361 Not G714 content G5125 with G3777 this, neither G1926 does G846 he himself G1926 receive G80 the brothers, G2532 and G1014 those who would, G2967 he forbids G2532 and G1544 throws G1537 out of G1577 the assembly.

  11 G27 Beloved, G3361 don't G3401 imitate G3588 that which is G2556 evil, G235 but G3588 that which is G18 good. G3588 He G15 who does good G2076 is G1537 of G2316 God. G1161   G3588 He G2554 who does evil G3708   G3756 hasn't G3708 seen G2316 God.

  12 G1216 Demetrius G3140 has the testimony G5259 of G3956 all, G2532 and G5259 of G225 the truth G846 itself; G1161 yes, G2532   G2249 we G3140 also testify, G2532 and G1492 you know G3754 that G2257 our G3141 testimony G2076 is G227 true.

  13 G2192 I had G4183 many things G1125 to write G235 to you, but G2309 I am G3756 unwilling G1125 to write G4671 to you G1223 with G3188 ink G2532 and G2563 pen;

  14 G1161 but G1679 I hope G1492 to see G4571 you G2112 soon, G2532 and G1492 we will G2980 speak G4750 face G4314 to G4750 face. G1515 Peace G4671 be to you. G5384 The friends G782 greet G4571 you. G782 Greet G5384 the friends G2596 by G3686 name.
