| 3 John 1:1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:3 For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. 3 John 1:5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; 3 John 1:6 and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. 3 John 1:7 For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 3 John 1:8 Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth. 3 John 1:9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say. 3 John 1:10 For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church. 3 John 1:11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God. 3 John 1:12 Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true. 3 John 1:13 I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink; 3 John 1:14 but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak face to face. 3 John 1:15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name. |

| 3 John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. (kjv) | 3 John 1:3 For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. | 3 John 1:3 ἐχάρην γὰρ λίαν ἐρχομένων ἀδελφῶν καὶ μαρτυρούντων σου τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, καθὼς σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς. |
| 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. (kjv) | 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. | 3 John 1:4 μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω χαράν, ἵνα ἀκούω τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα. |
| 3 John 1:5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; (kjv) | 3 John 1:5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; | 3 John 1:5 ἀγαπητέ, πιστὸν ποιεῖς ὃ ἐὰν ἐργάσῃ εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τοῦτο ξένους, |
| 3 John 1 6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well (kjv) | 3 John 1:6 and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. | 3 John 1:6 οἳ ἐμαρτύρησάν σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐνώπιον ἐκκλησίας, οὓς καλῶς ποιήσεις προπέμψας ἀξίως τοῦ θεοῦ· |
| 3 John 1:7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. (kjv) | 3 John 1:7 For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. | 3 John 1:7 ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἐξῆλθον μηδὲν λαμβάνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνικῶν. |

| 3 John 1:10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. (kjv) | 3 John 1:10 For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church. | 3 John 1:10 διὰ τοῦτο, ἐὰν ἔλθω, ὑπομνήσω αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖ, λόγοις πονηροῖς φλυαρῶν ἡμᾶς· καὶ μὴ ἀρκούμενος ἐπὶ τούτοις οὔτε αὐτὸς ἐπιδέχεται τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τοὺς βουλομένους κωλύει καὶ ἐκ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐκβάλλει. |
| 3 John 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. (kjv) | 3 John 1:11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God. | 3 John 1:11 ἀγαπητέ, μὴ μιμοῦ τὸ κακὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ ἀγαθόν. ὁ ἀγαθοποιῶν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν· ὁ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακεν τὸν θεόν. |

| 3 John 1:14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee.
