3 JOHN

CHAPTER 1

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

2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all and be healthy, even as your being prospers.

3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and witnessed about the truth in you, even as you walk in truth.

4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.

5 Beloved, you do a trustworthy work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.

6 They have witnessed about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of ALUAH,

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

8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

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

10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, falsely accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.

11 Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of ALUAH. He who does evil has not seen ALUAH.

12 Demetrius has the witness of all, and of the truth itself: And we also witness, and you know that our witness is true.

13 I had much to write you, but I delight not to write to you with ink and pen,

14 But I expect to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Shalum (Peace) be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
