3 John 1

  1 G4245 The elder G27 to the wellbeloved G1050 Gaius, G3739 whom G1473 I G25 [G5719] love G1722 in G225 truth.

  2 G27 Beloved, G2172 [G5736] I make a vow G4012 concerning G3956 all things G4571 that thou G2137 [G5745] mayest prosper G2532 and G5198 [G5721] be in health, G2531 even as G4675 thy G5590 breath G2137 [G5743] prospereth.

  3 G1063 For G5463 [G5644] I rejoiced G3029 exceedingly, G80 when the brethren G2064 [G5740] came G2532 and G3140 [G5723] testified G225 of the truth G4675 that is in thee, G2531 even as G4771 thou G4043 [G5719] walkest G1722 in G225 the truth.

  4 G2192 [G5719] I have G3756 no G3186 G5130 greater G5479 joy G2443 than to G191 [G5725] hear G1699 that my G5043 children G4043 [G5723] walk G1722 in G225 truth.

  5 G27 Beloved, G4160 [G5719] thou doest G4103 faithfully G3739 G1437 whatever G2038 [G5667] thou doest G1519 to G80 the brethren, G2532 and G1519 to G3581 strangers;

  6 G3739 Who G3140 [G5656] have borne witness G4675 of thy G26 love G1799 before G1577 the congregation: G3739 whom G4311 [G5660] if thou shalt bring forward on their journey G516 worthily G3588   G2316 of God, G4160 [G5692] thou shalt do G2573 well:

  7 G1063 Because G5228 0 for G846 his G3686 name's G5228 sake G1831 [G5627] they went forth, G2983 [G5723] taking G3367 nothing G575 from G1484 the nations.

  8 G2249 We G3767 therefore G3784 [G5719] ought G618 [G5721] to receive G5108 such, G2443 that G1096 [G5741] we may be G4904 fellow-workers G225 to the truth.

  9 G1125 [G5656] I wrote G1577 to the congregation: G235 but G1361 Diotrephes, G3588 who G5383 [G5723] loveth to have the preeminence G846 among them, G1926 [G5736] receiveth G2248 us G3756 not.

  10 G1223 G5124 Therefore, G1437 if G2064 [G5632] I come, G5279 [G5692] I will remember G846 his G2041 deeds G3739 which G4160 [G5719] he doeth, G5396 [G5723] prating against G2248 us G4190 with evil G3056 words: G2532 and G3361 not G714 [G5746] satisfied G1909 G5125 with that, G3777 neither G1926 0 doth G846 he himself G1926 [G5736] receive G80 the brethren, G2532 and G2967 [G5719] forbiddeth G1014 [G5740] them that would, G2532 and G1544 [G5719] casteth G1537 them out of G1577 the congregation.

  11 G27 Beloved, G3401 [G5737] imitate G3361 not G2556 that which is bad, G235 but G18 that which is good. G15 [G5723] He that doeth good G2076 [G5748] is G1537 of G2316 God: G1161 but G2554 [G5723] he that doeth bad G3708 0 hath G3756 not G3708 [G5758] seen G2316 God.

  12 G1216 Demetrius G3140 [G5769] hath good report G5259 by G3956 all G2532 men, and G5259 by G225 the truth G846 itself: G1161 G2532 and, G2249 we G3140 [G5719] also bear witness; G2532 and G1492 [G5758] ye know G3754 that G2257 our G3141 witness G2076 [G5748] is G227 true.

  13 G2192 [G5707] I had G4183 many things G1125 [G5721] to write, G235 but G2309 [G5719] I will G3756 not G1223 with G3188 ink G2532 and G2563 pen G1125 [G5658] write G4671 to thee:

  14 G1161 But G1679 [G5719] I expect G1492 0 I shall G2112 shortly G1492 [G5629] see G4571 thee, G2532 and G2980 [G5692] we shall speak G4750 face G4314 to G4750 face. G1515 Peace G4671 be to thee. G5384 Our friends G782 [G5736] greet G4571 thee. G782 [G5737] Greet G5384 the friends G2596 by G3686 name.
