The elder

πρεσβύτερος

unto the wellbeloved

ἀγαπητός

Gaius,

Γάϊος

whom

ὅς

I

ἐγώ

love

in

ἐν

the truth.

ἀλήθεια

💬📚

2

Beloved,

ἀγαπητός

I wish

εὔχομαι

above

περί

all things

πᾶς

that thou

σέ

mayest prosper

εὐοδόω

and

καί

be in health,

ὑγιαίνω

even as

καθώς

thy

σοῦ

soul

ψυχή

prospereth.

εὐοδόω

💬📚

3

For

γάρ

I rejoiced

χαίρω

greatly,

λίαν

when the brethren

ἀδελφός

came

ἔρχομαι

and

καί

testified

μαρτυρέω

of the truth

ἀλήθεια

that is in thee,

σοῦ

even as

καθώς

thou

σύ

walkest

περιπατέω

in

ἐν

the truth.

ἀλήθεια

💬📚

4

I have

ἔχω

no

οὐ

greater

μειζότερος

τούτων

joy

χαρά

than to

ἵνα

hear

ἀκούω

that my

ἐμός

children

τέκνον

walk

περιπατέω

in

ἐν

truth.

ἀλήθεια

Gaius Commended for Hospitality

💬📚

5

Beloved,

ἀγαπητός

thou doest

ποιέω

faithfully

πιστός

whatsoever

ὅς

ἐάν

thou doest

ἐργάζομαι

to

εἰς

the brethren,

ἀδελφός

and

καί

to

εἰς

strangers;

ξένος

💬📚

6

Which

ὅς

have borne witness

μαρτυρέω

of thy

σοῦ

charity

ἀγάπη

before

ἐνώπιον

the church:

ἐκκλησία

whom

ὅς

if thou bring forward on their journey

προπέμπω

after

ἀξίως

a godly

θεός

sort,

ἀξίως

thou shalt do

ποιέω

well:

καλῶς

💬📚

7

Because that

γάρ

for

ὑπέρ

his

αὐτός

name's

ὄνομα

sake

ὑπέρ

they went forth,

ἐξέρχομαι

taking

λαμβάνω

nothing

μηδείς

of

ἀπό

the Gentiles.

ἔθνος

💬📚

8

We

ἡμεῖς

therefore

οὖν

ought

ὀφείλω

to receive

ἀπολαμβάνω

such,

τοιοῦτος

that

ἵνα

we might be

γίνομαι

fellowhelpers

συνεργός

to the truth.

ἀλήθεια

Diotrephes and Demetrius

💬📚

9

I wrote

γράφω

unto the church:

ἐκκλησία

but

ἀλλά

Diotrephes,

Διοτρεφής

who

ὁ

loveth to have the preeminence

φιλοπρωτεύω

among them,

αὐτός

receiveth

ἐπιδέχομαι

us

ἡμᾶς

not.

οὐ

💬📚

10

Wherefore,

διά

τοῦτο

if

ἐάν

I come,

ἔρχομαι

I will remember

ὑπομιμνῄσκω

his

αὐτός

deeds

ἔργον

which

ὅς

he doeth,

ποιέω

prating against

φλυαρέω

us

ἡμᾶς

with malicious

πονηρός

words:

λόγος

and

καί

not

μή

content

ἀρκέω

therewith,

ἐπί

τούτοις

neither

οὔτε

doth

ἐπιδέχομαι

he himself

αὐτός

receive

ἐπιδέχομαι

the brethren,

ἀδελφός

and

καί

forbiddeth

κωλύω

them that would,

βούλομαι

and

καί

casteth

ἐκβάλλω

them out of

ἐκ

the church.

ἐκκλησία

💬📚

11

Beloved,

ἀγαπητός

follow

μιμέομαι

not

μή

that which is evil,

κακός

but

ἀλλά

that which is good.

ἀγαθός

He that doeth good

ἀγαθοποιέω

is

ἐστί

of

ἐκ

God:

θεός

but

δέ

he that doeth evil

κακοποιέω

hath

ὁράω

not

οὐ

seen

ὁράω

God.

θεός

💬📚

12

Demetrius

Δημήτριος

hath good report

μαρτυρέω

of

ὑπό

all

men, and

of

ὑπό

the truth

ἀλήθεια

itself:

αὐτός

yea,

δέ

and

καί

we

ἡμεῖς

also bear record;

μαρτυρέω

and

καί

ye know

that

ὅτι

our

record

is

ἐστί

true.
