1 The G3588 T-NSM elder G4245 A-NSM unto the G3588 T-DSM well G27 A-DSM - beloved Gaius G1050 N-DSM , whom G3739 R-ASM I G1473 P-1NS love G25 V-PAI-1S in G1722 PREP the truth G225 N-DSF .
2 Beloved G27 A-VSM , I wish G2172 V-PNI-1S above G4012 PREP all things G3956 A-GPN that thou G4571 P-2AS mayest prosper G2137 V-PPN and G2532 CONJ be in health G5198 V-PAN , even as G2531 ADV thy G3588 T-NSF soul G5590 N-NSF prospereth G2137 V-PPI-3S .
3 For G1063 CONJ I rejoiced G5463 V-2AOI-1S greatly G3029 ADV , when the brethren G80 N-GPM came G2064 V-PNP-GPM and G2532 CONJ testified G3140 V-PAP-GPM of G3588 T-DSF the G3588 T-DSF truth G225 N-DSF that is in thee G4675 P-2GS , even as G2531 ADV thou G4771 P-2NS walkest G4043 V-PAI-2S in G1722 PREP the truth G225 N-DSF .
4 I have G2192 V-PAI-1S no G3756 PRT-N greater G3186 A-ASF joy G5479 N-ASF than G5130 D-GPN to G2443 CONJ hear G191 V-PAS-1S that my G1699 S-1APN children G5043 N-APN walk G4043 V-PAP-ASM in G1722 PREP truth G225 N-DSF .
5 Beloved G27 A-VSM , thou doest G4160 V-PAI-2S faithfully G4103 A-ASN whatsoever G3739 R-ASN thou doest G2038 V-ADS-2S to G1519 PREP the G3588 T-APM brethren G80 N-APM , and G2532 CONJ to G1519 PREP strangers G3581 A-APM ;
6 Which G3739 R-NPM have borne witness G3140 V-AAI-3P of G3588 T-DSF thy G3588 T-DSF charity G26 N-DSF before G1799 ADV the church G1577 N-GSF : whom G3739 R-APM if thou bring forward on their journey G4311 V-AAP-NSM after a godly sort G516 ADV , thou shalt do G4160 V-FAI-2S well G2573 ADV :
7 Because G1063 CONJ that for his name\'s sake G5228 PREP they went forth G1831 V-2AAI-3P , taking G2983 V-PAP-NPM nothing G3367 A-ASN of G575 PREP the G3588 T-GPN Gentiles G1484 N-GPN .
8 We G2249 P-1NP therefore G3767 CONJ ought G3784 V-PAI-1P to receive G618 V-PAN such G5108 D-APM , that G2443 CONJ we might be G1096 V-PNS-1P fellow helpers G4904 A-NPM to the G3588 T-DSF truth G225 N-DSF .
9 I wrote G1125 V-AAI-1S unto the G3588 T-DSF church G1577 N-DSF : but G235 CONJ Diotrephes G1361 N-NSM , who loveth to have the preeminence G5383 V-PAP-NSM among them G848 , receiveth G1926 V-PNI-3S us G2248 P-1AP not G3756 PRT-N .
10 Wherefore G1223 PREP , if G1437 COND I come G2064 V-2AAS-1S , I will remember G5279 V-FAI-1S his G3588 T-APN deeds G2041 N-APN which G3739 R-APN he doth G4160 V-PAI-3S , prating against G5396 V-PAP-NSM us G2248 P-1AP with malicious G4190 A-DPM words G3056 N-DPM : and G2532 CONJ not G3361 PRT-N content G714 V-PPP-NSM therewith G1909 PREP , neither G3777 CONJ doth he G848 himself receive G1926 V-PNI-3S the G3588 T-APM brethren G80 N-APM , and G2532 CONJ forbiddeth G2967 V-PAI-3S them that would G1014 V-PNP-APM , and G2532 CONJ casteth G1544 V-PAI-3S them out of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSF church G1577 N-GSF .
11 Beloved G27 A-VSM , follow G3401 V-PNM-2S not G3361 PRT-N that which is evil G2556 A-ASN , but G235 CONJ that which is good G18 A-ASN . He that doeth good G15 V-PAP-NSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S of G3588 T-GSM God G2316 N-GSM : but G1161 he that doeth evil G2554 V-PAP-NSM hath not G3756 PRT-N seen G3708 V-RAI-3S God G2316 N-ASM .
12 Demetrius G1216 N-DSM hath good report G3140 V-RPI-3S of G5259 PREP all G3956 A-GPM men , and G2532 CONJ of G5259 PREP the G3588 T-GSF truth G225 N-GSF itself G846 P-GSF : yea G1161 CONJ , and G2532 CONJ we G2249 P-1NP also bear record G3140 V-PAI-1P ; and G2532 CONJ ye know G1492 V-RAI-2P that G3754 CONJ our G3588 T-NSF record G3141 N-NSF is G2076 V-PXI-3S true G227 A-NSF .
13 I had G2192 V-IAI-1S many things G4183 A-APN to write G1125 V-PAN , but G235 CONJ I will G2309 V-PAI-1S not G3756 PRT-N with G1223 PREP ink G3188 A-GSN and G2532 CONJ pen G2563 N-GSM write G1125 V-AAN unto thee G4671 P-2DS :

Peace G1515 N-NSF be to thee G4671 P-2DS . Our friends G5384 A-NPM salute G782 V-PNI-3P thee G4571 P-2AS . Greet G782 V-PNM-2S the G3588 T-APM friends G5384 A-APM by G2596 PREP name G3686 N-ASN .
