1:1 The
Elder
vnto
the
welbeloued
Gaius,
whom
I
loue
in
the
trueth:
1:2 Beloued,
I
wish
aboue
all
things
that
thou
mayest
prosper
and
be
in
health,
euen
as
thy
soule
prospereth.
1:3 For
I
reioyced
greatly
when
the
brethren
came
and
testified
of
the
trthh
that
is
in
thee,
euen
as
thou
walkest
in
the
trueth.
1:4 I
haue
no
greater
ioy,
then
to
heare
that
my
children
walke
in
trthh.
1:5 Beloued,
thou
doest
faithfully
whatsoeuer
thou
doest
to
the
Brethren,
and
to
strangers:
1:6 Which
haue
borne
witnesse
of
thy
charitie
before
the
Church:
whome
if
thou
bring
forward
on
their
iourney
after
a
godly
sort,
thou
shalt
doe
well:
1:7 Because
that
for
his
Names
sake
they
went
foorth,
taking
nothing
of
the
Gentiles.
1:8 We
therefore
ought
to
receiue
such,
that
we
might
be
fellow
helpers
to
the
trueth.
1:9 I
wrote
vnto
the
Church,
but
Diotrephes,
who
loueth
to
haue
the
preeminence
among
them,
receiueth
vs
not.
1:10 Wherefore
if
I
come,
I
will
remember
his
deeds
which
he
doeth,
prating
against
vs
with
malicious
words:
and
not
content
therewith,
neither
doth
hee
himselfe
receiue
the
brethren,
and
forbiddeth
them
that
would,
and
casteth
them
out
of
the
Church.
1:11 Beloued,
follow
not
that
which
is
euill,
but
that
which
is
good.
He
that
doth
good,
is
of
God:
but
hee
that
doth
euill,
hath
not
seene
God.
1:12 Demetrius
hath
good
report
of
all
men,
and
of
the
trueth
it
selfe:
yea,
and
we
also
beare
record,
and
ye
know
that
our
record
is
true.
1:13 I
had
many
things
to
write,
but
I
will
not
with
inke
and
pen
write
vnto
thee.
1:14 But
I
trust
I
shall
shortly
see
thee,
and
wee
shall
speake
face
to
face.
Peace
bee
to
thee.
Our
friends
salute
thee.
Greet
the
friends
by
name.
