| 3rd-John 1:2 | Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously. | Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. | My dear friend, I pray that you may in all respects prosper and enjoy good health, just as your soul already prospers. |
| 3rd-John 1:3 | I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. | For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. | For it is an intense joy to me when brethren come and bear witness to your fidelity to the truth that you live in obedience to the truth. |
| 3rd-John 1:4 | I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth. | I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. | I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are living in obedience to the truth. |

| 3rd-John 1:7 | Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles. | Because for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles. | For it is for Christ that they have gone forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. |
| 3rd-John 1:8 | We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth. | We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-helpers to the truth. | It is therefore our duty to show hospitality to such men, so that we may be fellow workers in promoting the truth. |
| 3rd-John 1:9 | I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us. | I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not. | I wrote to the Church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, refuses to listen to us. |
| 3rd-John 1:10 | For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church. | Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content with that, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. | For this reason, if I come, I shall not forget his conduct, nor his idle and mischievous talk against us. And he does not stop there: he not only will not receive the brethren, but those who desire to do this he hinders, and excludes them from the Church. |

He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God. | 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. | My dear friend, do not follow wrong examples, but right ones. He who habitually does what is right is a child of God: he who habitually does what is wrong has not seen God. |
| 3rd-John 1:12 | To Demetrius testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself, yea and we also give testimony: and thou knowest that our testimony is true. | Demetrius hath good report by all men, and by the truth itself: and we also bear testimony; and ye know that our testimony is true. | The character of Demetrius has the approval of all men, and of the truth itself. We also express our approval of it, and you know that we only give our approval to that which is true. |
| 3rd-John 1:13 | I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee. | I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write to thee: | I have a great deal to say to you, but I do not wish to go on writing it with ink and pen. |

Salute the friends by name. | But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. | But I hope to see you very soon, and then we will speak face to face. |
