THE THIRD EPISTLE OF JOHN


1 The Elder vnto the beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the
trueth. 2 Beloued, I wish chiefly that thou prosperedst
and faredst well as thy soule prospereth. 3 For I reioyced
greatly when the brethren came, and testified of the
trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in the trueth. 4 I
haue no greater ioy then these, that is, to heare that my
sonnes walke in veritie. 5 Beloued, thou doest faithfully,
whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,
6 Which bare witnesse of thy loue before the Churches.
Whom if thou bringest on their iourney as it beseemeth
according to God, thou shalt doe well, 7 Because that
for his Names sake they went forth, and tooke nothing
of the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receiue such,
that we might be helpers to the trueth. 9 I wrote vnto
the Church: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the
preeminence among them, receiueth vs not. 10 Wherefore
if I come, I will call to your remembrance his deedes which
he doeth, pratling against vs with malicious wordes, and
not therewith content, neither he himselfe receiueth the
brethren, but forbiddeth them that woulde, and thrusteth
them out of the Church. 11 Beloued, follow not that which
is euill, but that which is good: he that doeth well, is
of God: but he that doeth euill, hath not seene God.
12 Demetrius hath good report of al men, and of the trueth
it selfe: yea, and wee our selues beare recorde, and ye
know that our record is true. 13 I haue many things to
write: but I will not with yncke and pen write vnto thee:
14 For I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speake
mouth to mouth. Peace be with thee. The friends salute
thee. Greete the friends by name.
