13 John 1

1The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.Select 3 John 1:1

2Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.Select 3 John 1:2

3For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.Select 3 John 1:3

4Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.Select 3 John 1:4

5Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;Select 3 John 1:5

6who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:Select 3 John 1:6

7because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.Select 3 John 1:7

8We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.Select 3 John 1:8

9I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.Select 3 John 1:9

10Therefore, 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.Select 3 John 1:10

11Beloved, 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.Select 3 John 1:11

12Demetrius hath the witness of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest that our witness is true.Select 3 John 1:12

13I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write them to thee with ink and pen:Select 3 John 1:13

14but 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.Select 3 John 1:14
