1 The elder, to the well-beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brothers and for strangers, 6 who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey according to a godly manner, you shall do well, 7 because for His name's sake they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers to the truth. 9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, did not receive us. 10 Therefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds that he does, talking against us with malicious words— and not content with that, he himself does not receive the brothers, and forbids those who want to, and casts them out of the church. 11 Beloved, follow not what is evil but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius has good report from all men and from the truth itself. Yes, and we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true. 13 I had many things to write, but I will not write to you with ink and pen, 14 but I trust I shall shortly see you and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
