BOOK 64
THIRD LETTER OF JOHN
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.
