1 The|strong="G1722" elder|strong="G4245" unto|strong="G1722" Gaius|strong="G1050" the|strong="G1722" beloved, whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" love in|strong="G1722" truth.
2 Beloved, I|strong="G2532" pray|strong="G2172" that|strong="G3588" in|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" thou|strong="G4771" mayest prosper|strong="G2137" and|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" health|strong="G5198", even|strong="G2532" as|strong="G2531" thy|strong="G3588" soul|strong="G5590" prospereth|strong="G2137".
3 For|strong="G1063" I|strong="G2532" rejoiced|strong="G5463" greatly|strong="G3029", when|strong="G2532" brethren|strong="G3588" came|strong="G2064" and|strong="G2532" bare|strong="G3140" witness|strong="G3140" unto|strong="G1722" thy|strong="G3588" truth, even|strong="G2532" as|strong="G2531" thou|strong="G4771" walkest|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" truth.
4 Greater|strong="G3173" joy|strong="G5479" have|strong="G2192" I|strong="G3778" none|strong="G3756" than|strong="G3173" this|strong="G3778", to|strong="G2443" hear of|strong="G1722" my|strong="G1699" children|strong="G5043" walking|strong="G4043" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" truth.
5 Beloved, thou|strong="G3739" doest|strong="G4160" a|strong="G2532" faithful|strong="G4103" work|strong="G2038" in|strong="G1519" whatsoever|strong="G3739" thou|strong="G3739" doest|strong="G4160" toward|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3588" brethren|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" strangers|strong="G3581" withal;
6 who|strong="G3739" bare|strong="G3140" witness|strong="G3140" to|strong="G4160" thy|strong="G3588" love before|strong="G1799" the|strong="G3588" church|strong="G1577": whom|strong="G3739" thou|strong="G4771" wilt do|strong="G4160" well|strong="G2573" to|strong="G4160" set forward on|strong="G4311" their|strong="G3588" journey|strong="G4311" worthily of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316":
7 because|strong="G1063" that|strong="G3588" for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G3588" sake|strong="G5228" of|strong="G3686" the|strong="G3588" Name|strong="G3686" they|strong="G3588" went|strong="G1831" forth|strong="G1831", taking|strong="G2983" nothing|strong="G3367" of|strong="G3686" the|strong="G3588" Gentiles|strong="G1482".
8 We|strong="G2249" therefore|strong="G3767" ought|strong="G3784" to|strong="G2443" welcome such|strong="G5108", that|strong="G2443" we|strong="G2249" may|strong="G2443" be|strong="G1096" fellow-workers with|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" truth.
9 I|strong="G1473" wrote|strong="G1125" somewhat|strong="G5100" unto|strong="G1125" the|strong="G3588" church|strong="G1577": but|strong="G3588" Diotrephes|strong="G1361", who|strong="G3588" loveth to|strong="G3756" have|strong="G1473" the|strong="G3588" preeminence|strong="G5383" among|strong="G5383" them|strong="G3588", receiveth|strong="G1926" us|strong="G2249" not|strong="G3756".
10 Therefore|strong="G1223", if|strong="G1437" I|strong="G1473" come|strong="G2064", I|strong="G1473" will|strong="G2532" bring|strong="G4160" to|strong="G2532" remembrance|strong="G5279" his|strong="G1223" works|strong="G2041" which|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" doeth|strong="G4160", prating against|strong="G1909" us|strong="G4160" with|strong="G1223" wicked|strong="G4190" words|strong="G3056": and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" content|strong="G4160" therewith, neither|strong="G3777" doth|strong="G4160" he|strong="G2532" himself receive|strong="G1926" the|strong="G2532" brethren|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3739" would|strong="G1014" he|strong="G2532" forbiddeth|strong="G2967", and|strong="G2532" casteth|strong="G1544" them out|strong="G1544" of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G2532" church|strong="G1577".
11 Beloved, imitate|strong="G3401" not|strong="G3756" that|strong="G3588" which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" evil|strong="G2556", but|strong="G3361" that|strong="G3588" which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G1510" good|strong="G3756". He|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" doeth good|strong="G3756" is|strong="G1510" of|strong="G1537" God|strong="G2316": he|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" doeth evil|strong="G2556" hath|strong="G2316" not|strong="G3756" seen|strong="G3708" God|strong="G2316".
12 Demetrius|strong="G1216" hath|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" witness|strong="G3140" of|strong="G5259" all|strong="G3956" men, and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" truth itself: yea|strong="G1161", we|strong="G2249" also|strong="G2532" bear|strong="G3140" witness|strong="G3140"; and|strong="G2532" thou|strong="G3754" knowest|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" our|strong="G2532" witness|strong="G3140" is|strong="G1510" true|strong="G3588".
13 I|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" many|strong="G4183" things|strong="G4183" to|strong="G2532" write|strong="G1125" unto|strong="G1125" thee, but|strong="G2532" I|strong="G2532" am|strong="G2532" unwilling|strong="G3756" to|strong="G2532" write|strong="G1125" them to|strong="G2532" thee with|strong="G1223" ink|strong="G3188" and|strong="G2532" pen|strong="G2563":
14 but|strong="G1161" I|strong="G2532" hope|strong="G1679" shortly|strong="G2112" to|strong="G4314" see|strong="G3708" thee, and|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2532" shall|strong="G2532" speak|strong="G2980" face|strong="G4750" to|strong="G4314" face|strong="G4750". Peace be unto|strong="G4314" thee. The|strong="G2532" friends salute thee. Salute the|strong="G2532" friends by|strong="G4314" name.
