1:1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the
 truth.
1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper
 and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified
 of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the
 truth.
1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in
 truth.
1:5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the
 brethren, and to strangers;
1:6 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:
1:7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking
 nothing of the Gentiles.
1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
 fellowhelpers to the truth.
1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have
 the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
1:10 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.
1:11 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.
1:12 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.
1:13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen
 write unto thee:
1:14 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.
