chapter 1

     You Walk in the Truth

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

     2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

     3 For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

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

     5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they

     are strangers;

     6 and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a

     manner worthy of God.

     7 For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

     8 Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.

     9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept

     what we say.

     10 For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with

     wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids

     those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.

     11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who

     does evil has not seen God.

     12 Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our

     testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

     13 I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink;

     14 but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak face to face.

     15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
