3 John, Chapter 1

¹ The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.	1 Jo2 1 Act 19:29 Act 20:4 Rom 16:23 Co1 1:14 Jo1 3:18 Jo2 1
² Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. ³ For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than^a Lit these things, that I hearthis, to hear of my children walking in the truth.	3 Jo2 1:4 Act 1:15 Gal 6:10 (Jo3 5)Jo2 1:4 4 Co1 4:14 Co2 6:13 Gal 4:19 Th1 2:11 Ti1 1:2 Ti2 1:2 Pmn 1:10 Jo1 2:1 Jo2 1:4
⁵ Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and^b Lit thisespecially when they are strangers; ⁶ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. ⁷ For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. ⁸ Therefore we ought to^c Or receive such men as guestssupport such men, so that we may^d Or prove ourselves to bebe fellow workers^e Or forwith the truth.	5 Act 1:15 Gal 6:10 Jo3 1:3 Rom 12:13 Heb 13:2 6 Act 15:3 Tit 3:13 Col 1:10 Th1 2:12 7 Joh 15:21 Act 5:41 Php 2:9 Act 20:33 Act 20:35
⁹ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept^f Lit uswhat we say. ¹⁰ For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.	9 Jo2 1:9 10 Jo2 1:12 Jo2 1:10 Jo3 1:5 Act 1:15 Gal 6:10 Jo3 1:3 Joh 9:34
¹¹ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God. ¹² Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.	11 Psa 34:14 Psa 37:27 Jo1 2:29 Jo1 3:10 Jo1 3:6 12 Act 6:3 Ti1 3:7 Joh 19:35 Joh 21:24
¹³ I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink; ¹⁴ but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak face to face.	13 Jo2 1:12
¹⁵ Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.	15 Joh 20:19 Joh 20:21 Joh 20:26 Eph 6:23 Pe1 5:14 Joh 10:3
