{3rd John 1:1}
The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

{3rd John 1:2}
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prospereth.

{3rd John 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.

{3rd John 1:4}
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

{3rd John 1:5}
Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren,
and to strangers;

{3rd John 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:

{3rd John 1:7}
Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of
the Gentiles.

{3rd John 1:8}
We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to
the truth.

{3rd John 1:9}
I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the
preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

{3rd John 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.

{3rd John 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.

{3rd John 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.

{3rd John 1:13}
I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto
thee:

{3rd John 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.
