3 John 1

Authored by: American Standard Version
1:1
Ο πρεσβυτερος Γαιω τω αγαπητω ον εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια
The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
1:2
Αγαπητε περι παντων ευχομαι σε ευοδουσθαι και υγιαινειν καθως ευοδουται σου η ψυχη
Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
1:3
εχαρην γαρ λιαν ερχομενων αδελφων και μαρτυρουντων σου τη αληθεια καθως συ εν αληθεια περιπατεις
For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
1:4
μειζοτεραν τουτων ουκ εχω χαραν ινα ακουω τα εμα τεκνα εν αληθεια περιπατουντα
Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
1:5
Αγαπητε πιστον ποιεις ο εαν εργαση εις τους αδελφους και τουτο ξενους
Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
1:6
οι εμαρτυρησαν σου τη αγαπη ενωπιον εκκλησιας ους καλως ποιησεις προπεμψας αξιως του Θεου
who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
1:7
υπερ γαρ του Ονοματος εξηλθον μηδεν λαμβανοντες απο των εθνικων
because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
1:8
ημεις ουν οφειλομεν υπολαμβανειν τους τοιουτους ινα συνεργοι γινωμεθα τη αληθεια
We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
1:9
Εγραψα τι τη εκκλησια αλλ ο φιλοπρωτευων αυτων Διοτρεφης ουκ επιδεχεται ημας
I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

1:10
δια τουτο εαν ελθω υπομνησω αυτου τα εργα α ποιει λογοις πονηροις φλυαρων ημας και μη αρκουμενος επι τουτοις ουτε αυτος επιδεχεται τους αδελφους και τους βουλομενους κωλυει και εκ της εκκλησιας εκβαλλει
Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth them out of the church.
1:11
Αγαπητε μη μιμου το κακον αλλα το αγαθον ο αγαθοποιων εκ του Θεου εστιν ο κακοποιων ουχ εωρακεν τον Θεον
Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
1:12
Δημητριω μεμαρτυρηται υπο παντων και υπο αυτης της αληθειας και ημεις δε μαρτυρουμεν και οιδας οτι η μαρτυρια ημων αληθης εστιν
Demetrius hath the witness of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest that our witness is true.
1:13
Πολλα ειχον γραψαι σοι αλλ ου θελω δια μελανος και καλαμου σοι γραφειν
I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write them to thee with ink and pen:
1:14
ελπιζω δε ευθεως σε ιδειν και στομα προς στομα λαλησομεν
but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
1:15
Ειρηνη σοι Ασπαζονται σε οι φιλοι Ασπαζου τους φιλους κατ ονομα
