3 John 1 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

A Good Report

The elder^G4245 to the beloved^G27 Gaius^G1050, whom^G3739 I love^G25 in truth^G225.

Beloved^G27, I pray^G2172 that in all^G3956 respects^G3956 you may prosper^G2137 and be in good^G5198 health^G5198, just^G2531 as^G2531 your soul^G5590 prospers^G2137.

3Jo 1:3

3Jo 1:3For I was overjoyed when brothers came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

3Jo 1:4

3Jo 1:4I have no greater joy than [fn]this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

3Jo 1:5

Beloved^G27, you are acting^G4160 faithfully^G4103 in whatever^G3739^G1437 you accomplish^G2038 for the brothers^G80 and sisters, and [fn]especially^G3778 when they are strangers^G3581;

3Jo 1:6

3Jo 1:6and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to [fn]send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

3Jo 1:7

3Jo 1:7For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

3Jo 1:8

3Jo 1:8Therefore we ought to [fn]support such people, so that we may [fn]prove to be fellow workers [fn]with the truth.

3Jo 1:9

I wrote^G1125 something^G5100 to the church^G1577; but Diotrephes^G1361, who loves^G5383 to^G5383 be^G5383 first^G5383 among them, does not accept^G1926 [fn]what we say^G1473.

3Jo 1:10

3Jo 1:10For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with malicious words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brothers either, and he forbids those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

3Jo 1:11

Beloved^G27, do not imitate^G3401 what^G2556 is^G2556 evil^G2556, but what^G18 is^G18 good^G18. The one who does^G15 what^G15 is^G15 good^G15 is of God^G2316; the one who does^G2554 what^G2554 is^G2554 evil^G2554 has not seen^G3708 God^G2316.

3Jo 1:12

3Jo 1:12Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we testify too, and you know that our testimony is true.

3Jo 1:13

I had^G2192 many^G4183 things^G4183 to write^G1125 to you, but I do not want^G2309 to write^G1125 to you with pen^G2563 and ink^G3189;

3Jo 1:14

3Jo 1:14but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak [fn]face to face.

3Jo 1:15

Peace^G1515 be to you. The friends^G5384 greet^G782 you. Greet^G782 the friends^G5384 by name^G3686.
