The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. |
|

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth |
|

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. |

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. |
|
| agaphte piston poieiV o ean ergash eiV touV adelfouV kai eiV touV xenouV
Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; |
|
| oi emarturhsan sou th agaph enwpion ekklhsiaV ouV kalwV poihseiV propemyaV axiwV tou qeou
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: |
|
| uper gar tou onomatoV exhlqon mhden lambanonteV apo twn eqnwn
Because that for his name's sake they went forth taking nothing of the Gentiles. |
|

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth. |
|

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. |
|

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. |
|
| agaphte mh mimou to kakon alla to agaqon o agaqopoiwn ek tou qeou estin o de kakopoiwn ouc ewraken ton qeon
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. |
|
| dhmhtriw memarturhtai upo pantwn kai up authV thV alhqeiaV kai hmeiV de marturoumen kai oidate oti h marturia hmwn alhqhV estin
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. |
|
| polla eicon grafein all ou qelw dia melanoV kai kalamou soi grayai
I had many things to write but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: |
|
| elpizw de euqewV idein se kai stoma proV stoma lalhsomen eirhnh soi aspazontai se oi filoi aspazou touV filouV kat onoma
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. |
