John's Third Letter
3 John 1
1
The Elder,
To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2
Beloved, concerning all
things, I desire that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul
prospers.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly, when the brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear these things; that my children are walking in truth.
5
Beloved, you are
faithful in the work that you are doing for the brothers and sisters, and
for strangers;
6
They have
testified to your love before the congregation. You have done well to send
them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God,
7
Because for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing from
those of the nations.
8
Therefore we should receive such, that we may be co-workers with them
in the truth.
9
I wrote to the
congregation: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them,
didn’t receive us;
10
Because of
this, if I come, I will bring the works he does into remembrance, ranting
against us with hurtful words. And not being satisfied with these, he
refuses to receive the brothers and sisters, and also stops those who want
to and throws them out of the congregation.
11
Beloved, don’t imitate
that which is evil, but that which is good. The one who does
good is of God. But the one who does evil has not seen God.
12 Demetrius has a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. And we also add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.
13
I had many things to
write, but I didn't want to write to you with ink and pen:
14
But I expect
to see you shortly, and we will speak
face to face. Peace be with you. Our friends embrace you. Embrace the
friends by name.
[Literally, mouth to mouth.]
