* The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius , whom I love (5719 ) in the truth . * Beloved , I wish (5736 ) above all things that thou mayest prosper (5745 ) and be in health (5721 ), even as thy soul prospereth (5743 ). * For I rejoiced (5644 ) greatly , when the brethren came (5740 ) and testified (5723 ) of the truth that is in thee , even as thou 4771 # walkest (5719 ) in the truth . * I have (5719 ) no greater joy than to hear (5725 ) that my children walk (5723 ) in truth . * Beloved , thou doest (5719 ) faithfully whatsoever thou doest (5667 ) to the brethren , and to strangers ; * Which have borne witness (5656 ) of thy charity before the church : whom if thou bring forward on their journey (5660 ) after a godly sort , thou shalt do (5692 ) well : * Because that for his names sake they went forth (5627 ), taking (5723 ) nothing of the Gentiles . * We therefore ought (5719 ) to receive (5721 ) such , that we might be (5741 ) fellowhelpers to the truth . * I wrote (5656 ) unto the church : but Diotrephes , who loveth to have the preeminence (5723 ) among them , receiveth (5736 ) us not . * Wherefore , if I come (5632 ), I will remember (5692 ) his deeds which he doeth (5719 ), prating against (5723 ) us with malicious words : and not content (5746 ) therewith , neither doth he himself receive (5736 ) the brethren , and forbiddeth (5719 ) them that would (5740 ), and casteth (5719 ) them out of the church . * Beloved , follow (5737 ) not that which is evil , but that which is good . He that doeth good (5723 ) is (5748 ) of God : but he that doeth evil (5723 ) hath not seen (5758 ) God . * Demetrius hath good report (5769 ) of all men , and of the truth itself : yea , and we also bear record (5719 ); and ye know (5758 ) that our record is (5748 ) true . * I had (5707 ) many things to write (5721 ), but I will (5719 ) not with ink and pen write (5658 ) unto thee : * But I trust (5719 ) I shall shortly see (5629 ) thee , and we shall speak (5692 ) face to face . Peace be to thee . Our friends salute (5736 ) thee . Greet (5737 ) the friends by name .
