The Third Epistle General of John

And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell; where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

^1:1The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth. ^1:2Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. ^1:3For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth. ^1:4Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. ^1:5Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal; ^1:6who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God: ^1:7because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. ^1:8We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth. ^1:9I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. ^1:10Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth them out of the church. ^1:11Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God. ^1:12Demetrius hath the witness of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness: and thou knowest that our witness is true. ^1:13I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write them to thee with ink and pen: ^1:14but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
