Third Epistle of St. John the Apostle
chapter 1
1
The
ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my
prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth
prosperously.
3 I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and
gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my
children walk in truth.
5 Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou
dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
6 Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight
of the church: whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a
manner worthy of God.
7 Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing
of the Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be
fellow helpers of the truth.
9 I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes,
who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
10 For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his
works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these
things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren,
and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.
11 Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but
that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not
seen God.
12 To Demetrius testimony is given by all, and by the
truth itself, yea and we also give testimony: and thou knowest that our
testimony is true.
13 I had many things to write unto thee: but I would
not by ink and pen write to thee.
14 But I hope speedily to see thee, and we will speak
mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends
by name.
