| 3rd-John 1:1 | The Elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth! | The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth. | I, a ruler in the church, send word to the well loved Gaius, for whom I have true love. |
| 3rd-John 1:2 | beloved, concerning all things I desire thee to prosper, and to be in health, even as thy soul doth prosper, | Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. | My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well. |
| 3rd-John 1:3 | for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk; | For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth. | For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way. |
| 3rd-John 1:4 | greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking. | I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth. | I have no greater joy than to have news that my children are walking in the true way. |
| 3rd-John 1:5 | Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers, | Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers. | My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places; |
| 3rd-John 1:6 | who did testify of thy love before an assembly, whom thou wilt do well, having sent forward worthily of God, | They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, | Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God: |
| 3rd-John 1:7 | because for [His] name they went forth, nothing receiving from the nations; | because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles. | For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles. |
| 3rd-John 1:8 | 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 workers for the truth. | So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith. |
| 3rd-John 1:9 | I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first place among them Diotrephes doth not receive us; | I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn't accept what we say. | I sent a letter to the church, but Diotrephes, whose desire is ever to have the first place among them, will not have us there. |
| 3rd-John 1:10 | 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. | Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly. | So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do. |
| 3rd-John 1:11 | Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil hath not seen God; | Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God. | My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God. |
| 3rd-John 1:12 | 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. | Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true. | Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true. |
| 3rd-John 1:13 | 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 to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen; | I had much to say to you, but it is not my purpose to put it all down with ink and pen: |
| 3rd-John 1:14 | and I hope straightway to see thee, and mouth to mouth we shall speak. Peace to thee! salute thee do the friends; be saluting the friends by name. | but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. | But I am hoping to see you in a short time, and to have talk with you face to face. |
