{\MT The Third Epistle of John

\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}The
elder
to
the
beloved
Gaius,
whom
I
love
in
truth.
\VS{2}Beloved,
I desire
that
in
all
things thou shouldest
prosper
and
be
in
health,
even
as thy
soul
prospers.
\VS{3}For
I
rejoiced
exceedingly
when [the]
brethren
came
and bore
testimony
to thy [holding fast
the]
truth,
even
as
{\BD{thou}} walkest
in
truth.
\VS{4}I
have
no
greater
joy
than
these
things
that
I
hear
of
my
children
walking
in
the
truth.
\VS{5}Beloved, thou doest
faithfully [in]
whatever thou mayest
have wrought towards
the
brethren
and
that
strangers,
\VS{6}(who
have
witnessed
of thy
love
before [the]
assembly,)
in
setting forward
whom
on
their
journey
worthily
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:6 }
Elohim}God, thou wilt
do
well;
\VS{7}for
for
the
name
have
they
gone
forth,
taking
nothing
of
those
of
the nations.
\VS{8}{\BD{
We}}
therefore
ought
to receive
such,
that
we
may
be fellow-workers
with
the
truth.
\VS{9}I
wrote
something
to
the
assembly;
but
Diotrephes,
who
loves
to
have
the
first
place among
them, receives us
not.
\VS{10}For
this
reason,
if
I
come,
I
will
bring
to
remembrance
his
works
which
he
does, babbling
against
us
with
wicked
words;
and
not
content
with
these,
neither
does
he
himself
receive
the
brethren;
and
those
who
would
he
prevents,
and casts [them]
out
of
the
assembly.
\VS{11}Beloved,
do
not
imitate
what
is
evil,
but
what
is
good.
He
that
does
good
is
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:11 }
Elohim}God.
He
that
does
evil
has
not
seen
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:11 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{12}Demetrius
has
witness borne
to
him
by
all,
and
by
the
truth
itself;
and
{\BD{
we}}
also
bear
witness,
and thou knowest
that
our
witness
is
true.
\VS{13}I
had
many
things
to
write
to thee,
but
I
will
not
with
ink
and
pen
write
to thee;
\VS{14}but
I
hope soon
to
see thee,
and
we
will
speak
mouth
to
mouth. Peace [be]
to thee.
The friends greet thee. Greet
the friends
by name.
