\mt The Third Epistle of John
\c 1
\p
\v 1 ¶ The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
\p
\v 2 ¶ Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
\p
\v 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.
\p
\v 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
\p
\v 5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
\p
\v 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:
\p
\v 7 Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
\p
\v 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
\p
\v 9 ¶ I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
\p
\v 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 \add them\add* out of the church.
\p
\v 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.
\p
\v 12 Demetrius hath good report of all \add men,\add* and of the truth itself: yea, and we \add also\add* bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
\p
\v 13 ¶ I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
\p
\v 14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace \add be\add* to thee. \add Our\add* friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
