You
Walk in the Truth |
|
|
 |
3 John 1:1
|
|
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love
in truth. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:2
|
|
Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may
prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:3
|
|
For I was very glad when brethren came and testified
to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:4
|
|
I have no greater joy than this, to hear of
my children walking in the truth. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:5
|
|
Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever
you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; |
|
|
|
3 John 1:6
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:7
|
|
For they went out for the sake of the Name,
accepting nothing from the Gentiles. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:8
|
|
Therefore we ought to support such men, so that
we may be fellow workers with the truth. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:9
|
|
I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes,
who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:10
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:11
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
3 John 1:12
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:13
|
|
I had many things to write to you, but I am
not willing to write them to you with pen and ink; |
|
|
|
3 John 1:14
|
|
but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak
face to face. |
|
|
|
3 John 1:15 |
|
Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet
the friends by name. |
