3 John 1

1 He commendeth Gaius for his piety 5 and hospitality 7 to true preachers: 9 complaining of the unkind dealing of ambitious Diotrephes on the contrary side, 11 whose evil example is not to be followed: 12 and giveth special testimony to the good report of Demetrius.

 1:1 ¶ The x3588 elder 4245 unto the x3588 well-beloved 27 Gaius, 1050 whom 3739 I 1473 love 25 z5719 in 1722 the truth. 225

 1:2 Beloved, 27 I wish 2172 z5736 above 4012 all things 3956 that thou 4571 mayest prosper 2137 z5745 and 2532 be in health, 5198 z5721 even as 2531 thy 4675 soul 5590 prospereth. 2137 z5743

 1:3 For 1063 I rejoiced 5463 z5644 greatly, 3029 when the brethren 80 came 2064 z5740 and 2532 testified 3140 z5723 of the x3588 truth 225 that is in thee, 4675 even as 2531 thou 4771 walkest 4043 z5719 in 1722 the truth. 225

 1:4 I have 2192 z5719 no 3756 greater 3186 y5130 joy 5479 than x5130 to 2443 hear 191 z5719 that my 1699 children 5043 walk 4043 z5723 in 1722 truth. 225

 1:5 Beloved, 27 thou doest 4160 z5719 faithfully 4103 whatsoever 3739 1437 thou doest 2038 z5667 to 1519 the x3588 brethren, 80 and 2532 to 1519 strangers; 3581

 1:6 Which 3739 have borne witness 3140 z5656 of thy 4675 charity 26 before 1799 the church: 1577 whom 3739 if thou bring forward on their journey 4311 z5660 after y516 z0 a godly y2316 sort, 516 x1516 x2316 thou shalt do 4160 z5692 well: 2573

 1:7 Because x1063 that y1063 for y5228 z0 his y846 name's y3686 sake 5228 x846 x3686 they went forth, 1831 z5627 taking 2983 z5723 nothing 3367 of 575 the x3588 Gentiles. 1484

 1:8 We 2249 therefore 3767 ought 3784 z5719 to receive 618 z5721 such, 5108 that 2443 we might be 1096 z5741 fellow helpers 4904 to the x3588 truth. 225

 1:9 I wrote 1125 z5656 unto the x3588 church: 1577 but 235 Diotrephes, 1361 who y3588 loveth to have the preeminence 5383 z5723 among them, y846 x848 receiveth 1926 z5736 us 2248 not. 3756

 1:10 Wherefore, 1223 5124 if 1437 I come, 2064 z5632 I will remember 5279 z5692 his 846 deeds 2041 which 3739 he doth, 4160 z5719 prating against 5396 z5723 us 2248 with y3056 malicious x4190 words: y4190 x3056 and 2532 not 3361 content 714 z5746 therewith, 1909 5125 neither 3777 doth y1926 z0 he x848 himself y846 receive 1926 z5736 the x3588 brethren, 80 and 2532 forbiddeth 2967 z5719 them that would, 1014 z5740 and 2532 casteth 1544 z5719 [them] out of 1537 the x3588 church. 1577

 1:11 Beloved, 27 follow 3401 z5737 not 3361 that which is evil, 2556 but 235 that which is good. 18 He that doeth good 15 z5723 is 2076 z5748 of 1537 God: 2316 but 1161 he that doeth evil 2554 z5723 hath y3708 z0 not 3756 seen 3708 z5758 God. 2316

 1:12 Demetrius 1216 hath good report 3140 z5769 of 5259 all 3956 [men], and 2532 of 5259 the x3588 truth 225 itself: 846 yea, 1161 and 2532 we 2249 [also] bear record; 3140 z5719 and 2532 ye know 1492 z5758 that 3754 our 2257 record 3141 is 2076 z5748 true. 227

 1:13 I had 2192 z5707 many things 4183 to write, 1125 z5721 but 235 I will 2309 z5719 not 3756 with 1223 ink 3188 and 2532 pen 2563 write 1125 z5658 unto thee: 4671

 1:14 But 1161 I trust 1679 z5719 I shall y1492 z0 shortly 2112 see 1492 z5629 thee, 4571 and 2532 we shall speak 2980 z5692 face y4750 to y4314 face. 4750 x4314 Peace 1515 [be] to thee. 4671 [Our] friends 5384 salute 782 z5736 thee. 4571 Greet 782 z5737 the x3588 friends 5384 by 2596 name. 3686
