You Walk in the Truth

1

 aThe elderg4245 to the belovedg27  bGaiusg1050, whomg3739 I  cloveg25 in truthg225.

2

Belovedg27, I prayg2172 that in allg3956 respectsg3956 you may prosperg2137 and be in goodg5198 healthg5198, justg2531a as your soulg5590 prospersg2137.

3

For I  awas veryg3029 gladg5463 when  bbrethreng80 cameg2064 and testifiedg3140 to your truthg225, that is, howg2531a you  aare walkingg4043 in truthg225.

4

I haveg2192 nog3756 greaterg3173 joyg5479 than  1thisg3778, to hearg191 of  amy childreng5043  bwalkingg4043 in the truthg225.

5

Belovedg27, you are actingg4160 faithfullyg4103 in whateverg3739g1437 you accomplishg2038b for the  abrethreng80, and  1especiallyg3778 when they are  bstrangersg3581;

6

and they have testifiedg3140 to your loveg26 beforeg1799 the churchg1577. You will dog4160 wellg2573 to  asendg4311 them on their wayg4311 in a mannerg516  bworthyg516 of Godg2316.

7

For they wentg1831 out for the sakeg5228 of  athe Nameg3686,  bacceptingg2983 nothingg3367 from the Gentilesg1482.

8

Thereforeg3767 we oughtg3784 to  1supportg5274 suchg5108 meng5108, sog2443 that we may  2be fellowg4904 workersg4904  3with the truthg225.

9

I wroteg1125 somethingg5100 to the churchg1577; but Diotrephesg1361, who lovesg5383 to  abe firstg5383 among them, does not acceptg1926  1what we sayg1473.

10

For thisg3778 reasong1223,  aifg1437 I comeg2064, I will callg5279 attentiong5279 to his deedsg2041 whichg3739 he doesg4160, unjustlyg5396 accusingg5396 us with wickedg4190 wordsg3056; and not satisfiedg714 with thisg3778, he himselfg846 does not  breceiveg1926 the  cbrethreng80, eitherg3777, and he forbidsg2967 thoseg3588 who desireg1014 to do so and  dputsg1544b them out of the churchg1577.

11

Belovedg27,  ado not imitateg3401 whatg2556 is evilg2556, but whatg18 is goodg18.  bThe one who doesg15 goodg15 is of Godg2316;  cthe one who doesg2554 evilg2554 has not seeng3708 Godg2316.

12

Demetriusg1216  ahas receivedg3140 a good testimonyg3140 from everyoneg3956, and from the truthg225 itselfg846; and we addg3140 our testimonyg3140, and  byou knowg3609a that our testimonyg3140 is trueg227.

13

 aI hadg2192 manyg4183 thingsg4183 to writeg1125 to you, but I amg2309 not willingg2309 to writeg1125 them to you with peng2563 and inkg3189;

14

but I hopeg1679 to seeg3708 you shortlyg2112, and we will speakg2980 faceg4750 to faceg4750.

15

 aPeaceg1515 be to you. The friendsg5384 greetg782 you. Greetg782 the friendsg5384  bby nameg3686.
