064:John Book 64

064:3

064:John 001:001
The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius,
whom I love in the truth.

064:001:002
Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.

064:001:003
For I rejoiced greatly,
when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee,
even as thou walkest in the truth.

064:001:004
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

064:001:005
Beloved,
thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren,
and to strangers;

064:001:006
Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church:
whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort,
thou shalt do well:

064:001:007
Because that for his name's sake they went forth,
taking nothing of the Gentiles.

064:001:008
We therefore ought to receive such,
that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

064:001:009
I wrote unto the church:
but Diotrephes,
who loveth to have the preeminence among them,
receiveth us not.

064:001:010
Wherefore,
if I come,
I will remember his deeds which he doeth,
prating against us with malicious words:
and not content therewith,
neither doth he himself receive the brethren,
and forbiddeth them that would,
and casteth them out of the church.

064:001:011
Beloved,
follow not that which is evil,
but that which is good.
He that doeth good is of God:
but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

064:001:012
Demetrius hath good report of all men,
and of the truth itself:
yea,
and we also bear record;
and ye know that our record is true.

064:001:013
I had many things to write,
but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

064:001:014
But I trust I shall shortly see thee,
and we shall speak face to face.
Peace be to thee.
Our friends salute thee.
Greet the friends by name.
