ג Yochanan

3 John (CKJV)

¹ The elder, to the beloved Gaios, whom I love in the truth.

² Beloved ones, I pray you do well in every way, and be in health, as your life is doing well.

³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth.

⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in truth.

⁵ Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, and for strangers;

⁶ Who have borne witness of your love before the assembly.  If you send them on their journey worthily of Elohim, you shall do well:

⁷ Because they went out for the sake of the Name, taking nothing of the nations.

⁸ Therefore we ought to receive such, that we might be fellow workers for the truth.

⁹ I wrote unto the assembly: but Diotrephes, who loves to be the first among them, does not receive us.

¹⁰ So if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, babbling against us with malicious words: and not content with that, he himself does not receive the brothers, and forbids them that would, and casts them out of the assembly.

¹¹ Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of Elohim: but he that does evil has not seen Elohim.

¹² Demetrios has a good report of all men, and of the truth itself.  And we also bear witness; and you know that our witness is true.

¹³ I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with ink and pen,

¹⁴ But I trust to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you.  Our friends salute you.  Greet the friends by name.
