3 John 1:1-6

1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in^[a] the truth.

2 Beloved, I wish^[b] above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

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.

4 I have no greater* joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;

6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after^[c] a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
