1 [ref]This letter is from Yohan the elder to my dear friend Gaius who I love because we both follow the truth.
2 My dear friend, I trust that you are healthy and doing well in everything just as you are also doing well spiritually. 3 I was very happy when some of our spiritual brothers came and told us about your faithfulness to the truth and how you are living it out. 4 Nothing makes me more happy than hearing that other believers that I’ve helped are living out the truth.
1:5 Praising Gaius
5 My dear friend, you are faithful in what you do for other believers. Even strangers 6 have told the assembly about your caring for them before sending them on. Your actions will be praised by God 7 because they went out to serve God, not getting any help from the unbelievers. 8 We should be supporting believers like them so that we may also become their workmates in sharing the truth.
1:9 Diotrephes and Demetrius
9 I wrote something to the assembly, but Diotrephes won’t listen to us—he always wants the limelight for himself. 10 Because of that, if I do end up coming, I will be reminding him about what he’s been doing—rambling on against us with evil talks, and then, not being happy with that, he doesn’t accept other believers and expels them from the assembly then forbids others from accepting them either.
11 My dear friend, don’t copy the evil things that others do, just the good things. Anyone who does what is good belongs to God—anyone who does evil things has not seen God.
12 Demetrius has been talked about by everyone and even the truth itself speaks. We have also spoken about him, and you know that what we say is true.
