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.
