| 3rd-John 1:2 | My dear friend, I pray that you may in all respects prosper and enjoy good health, just as your soul already prospers. | beloved, concerning all things I desire thee to prosper, and to be in health, even as thy soul doth prosper, | Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously. |
| 3rd-John 1:3 | 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. | for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk; | I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. |
| 3rd-John 1:4 | I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are living in obedience to the truth. | greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking. | I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth. |

| 3rd-John 1:7 | For it is for Christ that they have gone forth, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. | because for [His] name they went forth, nothing receiving from the nations; | Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles. |
| 3rd-John 1:8 | It is therefore our duty to show hospitality to such men, so that we may be fellow workers in promoting the truth. | we, then, ought to receive such, that fellow-workers we may become to the truth. | We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth. |
| 3rd-John 1:9 | I wrote to the Church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the first place among them, refuses to listen to us. | I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first place among them Diotrephes doth not receive us; | I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us. |
| 3rd-John 1:10 | 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. | because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to remember his works that he doth, with evil words prating against us; and not content with these, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and those intending he doth forbid, and out of the assembly he doth cast. | 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. |

He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God. |
| 3rd-John 1:12 | 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. | to Demetrius testimony hath been given by all, and by the truth itself, and we also we do testify, and ye have known that our testimony is true. | 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. |
| 3rd-John 1:13 | I have a great deal to say to you, but I do not wish to go on writing it with ink and pen. | Many things I had to write, but I do not wish through ink and pen to write to thee, | I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee. |
