1The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.G4245G27G1050G3739G1473G25G1722G225

2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.G27G2172G4012G3956G4571G2137G2532G5198G2531G4675G5590G2137

3For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.G1063G5463G3029G80G2064G2532G3140G225G4675G2531G4771G4043G1722G225

4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.G2192G3756G3186G5130G5479G2443G191G1699G5043G4043G1722G225

5Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;G27G4160G4103G3739G1437G2038G1519G80G2532G1519G3581

6Which 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:G3739G3140G4675G26G1799G1577G3739G4311G516G2316G516G4160G2573

7Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.G1063G5228G846G3686G5228G1831G2983G3367G575G1484

8We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.G2249G3767G3784G618G5108G2443G1096G4904G225

9I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.G1125G1577G235G1361G3588G5383G846G1926G2248G3756

10Wherefore, 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.G1223G5124G1437G2064G5279G846G2041G3739G4160G5396G2248G4190G3056G2532G3361G714G1909G5125G3777G1926G846G1926G80G2532G2967G1014G2532G1544G1537G1577

11Beloved, 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.G27G3401G3361G2556G235G18G15G2076G1537G2316G1161G2554G3708G3756G3708G2316

12Demetrius 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.G1216G3140G5259G3956G2532G5259G225G846G1161G2532G2249G3140G2532G1492G3754G2257G3141G2076G227

13I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:G2192G4183G1125G235G2309G3756G1223G3188G2532G2563G1125G4671

14But 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.G1161G1679G1492G2112G1492G4571G2532G2980G4750G4314G4750G1515G4671G5384G782G4571G782G5384G2596G3686
