1: The_G3588 elder,_G4245 To Gaius_G1050 the_G3588 beloved,_G0027 whom_G3739 I_G1473 love_G0025 in_G1722 truth._G0225

2: Beloved,_G0027 concerning_G4012 all things_G3956 I pray_G2172 you_G4771 to prosper_G2137 and_G2532 to be in good health,_G5198 just as_G2531 prospers_G2137 your_G4771 -_G3588 soul._G5590

3: I rejoiced_G5463 for_G1063 exceedingly_G3029 coming_G2064 of [the] brothers_G0080 and_G2532 bearing witness_G3140 of your_G4771 -_G3588 truth,_G0225 just as_G2531 you_G4771 in_G1722 truth_G0225 are walking._G4043

4: Greater_G3173 than these things_G3778 not_G3756 I have_G2192 joy,_G5479 that_G2443 I should hear of_G0191 -_G3588 my_G1699 children_G5043 in_G1722 the_G3588 truth_G0225 walking._G4043

5: Beloved,_G0027 faithfully_G4103 you are doing_G4160 whatever_G3739 if_G1437 you might have done_G2038 toward_G1519 the_G3588 brothers,_G0080 and_G2532 they are_G3778 strangers,_G3581

6: who_G3739 testified_G3140 of your_G4771 -_G3588 love_G0026 before_G1799 [the] church,_G1577 whom_G3739 well_G2573 you will do,_G4160 having set forward_G4311 worthily_G0516 -_G3588 of God._G2316

7: On behalf_G5228 for_G1063 of the_G3588 name_G3686 they went forth,_G1831 nothing_G3367 accepting_G2983 from_G0575 the_G3588 Gentiles._G1482

8: We_G1473 therefore_G3767 ought_G3784 to receive_G5274 -_G3588 such [men],_G5108 so that_G2443 fellow workers_G4904 we may be_G1096 in the_G3588 truth._G0225

9: I have written_G1125 something_G5100 to the_G3588 church;_G1577 but_G0235 the [one]_G3588 loving to be first_G5383 among them,_G0846 Diotrephes,_G1361 not_G3756 welcomes_G1926 us._G1473

10: Because of_G1223 this,_G3778 if_G1437 I might come,_G2064 I will bring to remembrance_G5279 of him_G0846 the_G3588 works_G2041 which_G3739 he is doing,_G4160 with words_G3056 evil_G4190 prating against_G5396 us;_G1473 and_G2532 not_G3361 being satisfied_G0714 with_G1909 these,_G3778 neither_G3777 himself_G0846 he receives_G1926 the_G3588 brothers,_G0080 and_G2532 those_G3588 purposing,_G1014 he forbids,_G2967 and_G2532 from_G1537 the_G3588 church_G1577 he casts [them] out._G1544

11: Beloved,_G0027 not_G3361 do imitate_G3401 what [is]_G3588 evil,_G2556 but_G0235 what [is]_G3588 good._G0018 The [one]_G3588 doing good,_G0015 of_G1537 -_G3588 God_G2316 is;_G1510 the [one]_G3588 doing evil,_G2554 not_G3756 has seen_G3708 -_G3588 God._G2316

12: To Demetrius_G1216 witness has been given_G3140 by_G5259 all,_G3956 and_G2532 by_G5259 itself_G0846 the_G3588 truth;_G0225 and_G2532 we_G1473 also_G1161 bear witness,_G3140 and_G2532 you know_G1492 that_G3754 the_G3588 testimony_G3141 of us_G1473 TRUE_G0227 is._G1510

13: Many things_G4183 I had_G2192 to write_G1125 to you,_G4771 but_G0235 not_G3756 I desire_G2309 with_G1223 ink_G3188 and_G2532 pen_G2563 to you_G4771 to write._G1125

14: I hope_G1679 however_G1161 soon,_G2112 you_G4771 to see,_G3708 and_G2532 mouth_G4750 to_G4314 mouth_G4750 we will speak._G2980 Peace_G1515 to you._G4771 Greet_G0782 you,_G4771 the_G3588 friends._G5384 Greet_G0782 the_G3588 friends_G5384 by_G2596 name._G3686
