{\MTB THE THIRD EPISTLE OF
\par }{\MT JOHN

\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}The
elder
unto
Gaius
the
beloved,
whom
I
love
in
truth.
\par }{\PP \VS{2}Beloved,
I
pray
that
in
all
things
thou
mayest
prosper
and
be
in
health,
even
as
thy
soul
prospereth.
\VS{3}For
I
rejoiced
greatly,
when
brethren
came
and
bare
witness
unto
thy
truth,
even
as
thou
walkest
in
truth.
\VS{4}Greater
joy
have
I
none
than
this,
to
hear
of
my
children
walking
in
the
truth.
\par }{\PP \VS{5}Beloved,
thou
doest
a
faithful
work
in
whatsoever
thou
doest
toward
them
that
are
brethren
and
strangers
withal;
\VS{6}who
bare
witness
to
thy
love
before
the
church:
whom
thou
wilt
do
well
to
set
forward
on
their
journey
worthily
of
God:
\VS{7}because
that
for
the
sake
of
the
Name
they
went
forth,
taking
nothing
of
the
Gentiles.
\VS{8}We
therefore
ought
to
welcome
such,
that
we
may
be fellow-workers
for
the
truth.
\par }{\PP \VS{9}I
wrote
somewhat
unto
the
church:
but
Diotrephes,
who
loveth
to
have
the
preeminence
among
them,
receiveth
us
not.
\VS{10}Therefore,
if
I
come,
I
will
bring
to
remembrance
his
works
which
he
doeth,
prating
against
us
with
wicked
words:
and
not
content
therewith,
neither
doth
he
himself
receive
the
brethren,
and
them
that
would
he
forbiddeth
and
casteth
{\ADD{
them}}
out
of
the
church.
\VS{11}Beloved,
imitate
not
that
which
is
evil,
but
that
which
is
good.
He
that
doeth
good
is
of
God:
he
that
doeth
evil
hath
not
seen
God.
\VS{12}Demetrius
hath
the
witness
of
all
{\ADD{
men}},
and
of
the
truth
itself:
yea,
we
also
bear
witness;
and
thou
knowest
that
our
witness
is
true.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{13}I
had
many
things
to
write
unto
thee,
but
I
am
unwilling
to
write
{\ADD{
them}}
to
thee
with
ink
and
pen:
\VS{14}but
I
hope
shortly
to
see
thee,
and
we
shall
speak
face
to
face.
Peace
{\ADD{
be}}
unto
thee.
The
friends
salute
thee.
Salute
the
friends
by
name.
