* BOOK64 3JOHN
= CHAPTER 1 
# 1 THE ELDER UNTO THE WELLBELOVED GAIUS, WHOM I LOVE IN THE TRUTH.
# 2 BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS THAT THOU MAYEST PROSPER AND BE IN
 HEALTH, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH.
# 3 FOR I REJOICED GREATLY, WHEN THE BRETHREN CAME AND TESTIFIED OF THE TRUTH
 THAT IS IN THEE, EVEN AS THOU WALKEST IN THE TRUTH.
# 4 I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN TRUTH.
# 5 BELOVED, THOU DOEST FAITHFULLY WHATSOEVER THOU DOEST TO THE BRETHREN, AND
 TO STRANGERS;
# 6 WHICH HAVE BORNE WITNESS OF THY CHARITY BEFORE THE CHURCH: WHOM IF THOU
 BRING FORWARD ON THEIR JOURNEY AFTER A GODLY SORT, THOU SHALT DO WELL:
# 7 BECAUSE THAT FOR HIS NAMES SAKE THEY WENT FORTH, TAKING NOTHING OF THE
 GENTILES.
# 8 WE THEREFORE OUGHT TO RECEIVE SUCH, THAT WE MIGHT BE FELLOWHELPERS TO THE
 TRUTH.
# 9 I WROTE UNTO THE CHURCH: BUT DIOTREPHES, WHO LOVETH TO HAVE THE
 PREEMINENCE AMONG THEM, RECEIVETH US NOT.
# 10 WHEREFORE, IF I COME, I WILL REMEMBER HIS DEEDS WHICH HE DOETH, PRATING
 AGAINST US WITH MALICIOUS WORDS: AND NOT CONTENT THEREWITH, NEITHER DOTH HE
 HIMSELF RECEIVE THE BRETHREN, AND FORBIDDETH THEM THAT WOULD, AND CASTETH
 THEM OUT OF THE CHURCH.
# 11 BELOVED, FOLLOW NOT THAT WHICH IS EVIL, BUT THAT WHICH IS GOOD. HE THAT
 DOETH GOOD IS OF GOD: BUT HE THAT DOETH EVIL HATH NOT SEEN GOD.
# 12 DEMETRIUS HATH GOOD REPORT OF ALL MEN, AND OF THE TRUTH ITSELF: YEA, AND
 WE ALSO BEAR RECORD; AND YE KNOW THAT OUR RECORD IS TRUE.
# 13 I HAD MANY THINGS TO WRITE, BUT I WILL NOT WITH INK AND PEN WRITE UNTO
 THEE:
# 14 BUT I TRUST I SHALL SHORTLY SEE THEE, AND WE SHALL SPEAK FACE TO FACE.
 PEACE BE TO THEE. OUR FRIENDS SALUTE THEE. GREET THE FRIENDS BY NAME.
