3 John 1

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 The elder to the beloved Ga'ius, whom I love in the truth.

2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in health; I know that it is well with your soul.

3 For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do follow the truth.

4 No greater joy can I have than this, to hear that my children follow the truth.

5 Beloved, it is a loyal thing you do when you render any service to the brethren, especially to strangers,

6 who have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey as befits God's service.

7 For they have set out for his sake and have accepted nothing from the heathen.

8 So we ought to support such men, that we may be fellow workers in the truth.

9 I have written something to the church; but Diot'rephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority.

10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, prating against me with evil words. And not content with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.

11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.

12 Deme'trius has testimony from every one, and from the truth itself; I testify to him too, and you know my testimony is true.

13 I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink;

14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk together face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, every one of them.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 senior Gaio carissimo quem ego diligo in veritate

2 carissime de omnibus orationem facio prospere te ingredi et valere sicut prospere agit anima tua

3 gavisus sum valde venientibus fratribus et testimonium perhibentibus veritati tuae sicut tu in veritate ambulas

4 maiorem horum non habeo gratiam quam ut audiam filios meos in veritate ambulantes

5 carissime fideliter facis quicquid operaris in fratres et hoc in peregrinos

6 qui testimonium reddiderunt caritati tuae in conspectu ecclesiae quos bene facies deducens digne Deo

7 pro nomine enim profecti sunt nihil accipientes a gentibus

8 nos ergo debemus suscipere huiusmodi ut cooperatores simus veritatis

9 scripsissem forsitan ecclesiae sed is qui amat primatum gerere in eis Diotrepes non recipit nos

10 propter hoc si venero commoneam eius opera quae facit verbis malignis garriens in nos et quasi non ei ista sufficiant nec ipse suscipit fratres et eos qui cupiunt prohibet et de ecclesia eicit

11 carissime noli imitari malum sed quod bonum est qui benefacit ex Deo est qui malefacit non vidit Deum

12 Demetrio testimonium redditur ab omnibus et ab ipsa veritate et nos autem testimonium perhibemus et nosti quoniam testimonium nostrum verum est

13 multa habui scribere tibi sed nolui per atramentum et calamum scribere tibi

14 spero autem protinus te videre et os ad os loquemur

15 pax tibi salutant te amici saluta amicos per nomen
