3Jo 1:1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in
the truth.
3Jo 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3Jo 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.
3Jo 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
3Jo 1:5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the
brethren, and to strangers;
3Jo 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:
3Jo 1:7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of
the Gentiles.
3Jo 1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers
to the truth.
3Jo 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the
preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
3Jo 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.
3Jo 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.
3Jo 1:12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself:
yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
3Jo 1:13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write
unto thee:
3Jo 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. Greet the friends by name.
