The elder , To the beloved Gaius , whom I love in (the) tRuth - :
Beloved , I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health , as your - soul {also} prospers.
For I was overjoyed ... (when the) brothers came and testified about your - devotion to the tRuth - , in (which) ... you continue to walk.
I have no greater joy than to hear (that) my - children are walking in the tRuth -.
Beloved , you are faithful in what ... you are doing for the brothers , and (especially since) they are strangers (to you).
(They) have testified to (the) church about your - love. You will do well to send them on their way ... in a manner worthy - of God.
For they went out on behalf of the Name , accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
Therefore we ought to support - such (men) , so that we may be fellow workers for the tRuth -.
I have written to the church (about this) , but Diotrephes , who loves to be first ... , vvv will not accept our (instruction).
So ... if I come , I will call attention to - - - (his) - malicious slander ... (against) us. And vvv unsatisfied with that , vvv vvv he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so , even putting (them) out of the church.
Beloved , {do} not imitate what (is) evil , but what (is) good. The (one who) does good is of - God ; the (one who) does evil vvv has not seen - God.
Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone , and from the tRuth - itself. - We also testify (for him) , and you know that our - testimony is true.
I have many things to write to you , but I would prefer not (to do so) ... with pen and ink.
Instead , I hope to see you soon and speak (with you) (face) to (face). Peace to you. The friends ( here ) send you greetings .... Greet (each of our) friends (there) by name.
