3 John Chapter 1

3Jo 1:1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
3Jo 1:2 Beloved, concerning all things I pray that thou mayest prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospers.
3Jo 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified to thy truth, as thou walkest in the truth.
3Jo 1:4 I have no joy greater than this, that I hear of my children walking in the truth.
3Jo 1:5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatever thou workest for the brethren, and for strangers,
3Jo 1:6 who have testified to thy love before the church, whom thou wilt do well in conducting forward in a manner worthy of God.
3Jo 1:7 For in behalf of the name they went forth, taking nothing from the heathen.
3Jo 1:8 We then, ought to receive such, that we may become fellow-workmen for the truth.
3Jo 1:9 I wrote somewhat to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves the pre-eminence over them, receives us not.
3Jo 1:10 Wherefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance the works that he does, prating against us with evil words; and not content with this, he neither himself receives the brethren, and those that would he hinders and casts out of the church.
3Jo 1:11 Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that does good is of God: he that does evil has not seen God.
3Jo 1:12 To Demetrius good testimony is given by all and by the truth itself; and we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
3Jo 1:13 I had many things to write to thee, but I will not write to thee by means of ink and pen:
3Jo 1:14 I hope, however, to see thee soon, and we will speak mouth to mouth. (1:15) Peace to thee. The friends salute thee: salute the friends by name.
