JO3 1:1  The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

JO3 1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
 health, even as thy soul prospereth.

JO3 1:3  For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the
 truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

JO3 1:4  I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

JO3 1:5  Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the
 brethren, and to strangers;

JO3 1:6  Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if
 thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:

JO3 1:7  Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing
 of the Gentiles.

JO3 1:8  We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers
 to the truth.

JO3 1:9  I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the
 preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

JO3 1:10  Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth,
 prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither
 doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and
 casteth them out of the church.

JO3 1:11  Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He
 that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

JO3 1:12  Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself:
 yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

JO3 1:13  I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write
 unto thee:

JO3 1:14  But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to
 face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
