3 John 1-14
1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius,
whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and
be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the
brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the
truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 5 Beloved,
thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 6 Which
have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their
journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 7 Because that for his name's sake they
went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we
might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes,
who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come,
I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not
content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that
would, and casteth them out of the church. 11 Beloved, follow not that which is
evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath
not seen God.
12 Demetrius hath good report of all men,
and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record
is true. 13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to
thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
