Third Book of John

III JOHN 1:1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in
the truth.
III JOHN 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
III JOHN 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and
testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in
the truth.
III JOHN 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children
walk in truth.
III JOHN 1:5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest
to the brethren, and to strangers;
III JOHN 1:6 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:
III JOHN 1:7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth,
taking nothing of the Gentiles.
III JOHN 1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
fellowhelpers to the truth.
III JOHN 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth
to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
III JOHN 1:10 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 {them} out of the
church.
III JOHN 1:11 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.
III JOHN 1:12 Demetrius 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.
III JOHN 1:13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink
and pen write unto thee:
III JOHN 1:14 But 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.
