Readers’ Version

Literal Version

1[ref]This letter is from Yohan the elder to my dear friend Gaius who I love because we both follow the truth.

2My dear friend, I trust that you are healthy and doing well in everything just as you are also doing well spiritually. 3I 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. 4Nothing makes me more happy than hearing that other believers that I’ve helped are living out the truth.

1The elder, to_Gaios the beloved, whom I am_loving in truth.
2Beloved, concerning all things I_am_hoping you to_be_being_prospered and to_be_being_healthy, as is_being_prospered of_you the soul.
3For/Because I_was_elated exceedingly coming the_brothers and testifying of_you in_the truth, as you in the_truth are_walking.
4Greater than these things not I_am_having joy, that I_may_be_hearing the my children in the truth walking.

1:5 Praising Gaius

5My dear friend, you are faithful in what you do for other believers. Even strangers 6have told the assembly about your caring for them before sending them on. Your actions will be praised by God 7because they went out to serve God, not getting any help from the unbelievers. 8We should be supporting believers like them so that we may also become their workmates in sharing the truth.

5Beloved, faithful you_are_doing whatever, if you_may_do for the brothers and this is for_strangers, 6who testified of_you to_the love before the_assembly, whom well you_will_be_doing, having_sent_forward worthily of_ the _god.
7For/Because for the name they_came_out, nothing receiving from the pagans.
8Therefore we ought to_be_supporting the such men, in_order_that fellow-workers we_may_be_becoming with_the truth.

1:9 Diotrephes and Demetrius

9I wrote something to the assembly, but Diotrephes won’t listen to us—he always wants the limelight for himself. 10Because of that, if I do end up coming, I will be reminding him about what he’s been doingrambling 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.

11My 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.

12Demetrius 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.

9I_wrote something to_the assembly, but the one loving_to_be_first of_them, Diotrefaʸs, not is_accepting us.
10Because_of this, if I_may_come, I_will_be_reminding of_him the works, which he_is_doing, with_messages evil rambling_against us, and not being_sufficed with these things, nor himself is_accepting the brothers, but the ones wishing he_is_forbidding, and from the assembly is_throwing_out them.
11Beloved, not be_imitating the evil, but the good.
The one doing_good of the god is, the one doing_evil not has_seen the god.
12To_Daʸmaʸtrios has_been_attested by all, and by itself the truth, also and we are_testifying, and you_have_known that the testimony of_us true is.

1:13 Closing

13I had many things I wanted to write about, but won’t do it by means of ink and pen, 14but instead I hope to see you soon and then we can speak face to face.

15Wishing all peace and happiness for you. Your friends here also greet you. Please greet our friends there by name.


13Many things I_was_having to_write to_you, but not I_am_wanting through ink and pen to_you to_be_writing, 14but I_am_hoping immediately you to_see, and mouth to mouth we_will_be_speaking.
15Peace be to_you.
Are_greeting you the friends.
Be_greeting the friends by name.
