The third pistel off S. Ihon

1:1
The senior{elder} unto the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
1:2
Wellbeloved I wish in all things that thou prosperedest and faredest well, even as thy soul prospereth.
1:3
I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth{trueth} that is in thee, how thou in troth walkest.{walkest in trouthe.}
1:4
I have no greater joy than for to hear how that my sons walk in verity.|trueth|
1:5
Dearly beloved thou dost faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers,
1:6
which bare witness of thy love before all the congregation. Which brethren when thou bringest forwards on their journey (as it beseemeth God) thou shalt do well:
1:7
because that for his name's sake they went forth, and took nothing of the gentiles.
1:8
We therefore ought to receive such, that we also might be helpers to the truth.
1:9
I wrote unto the congregation: but Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not,
1:10
wherefore if I come I will declare his deeds which he doeth jesting on us with malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of the congregation.
1:11
Dearly beloved counterfeit{follow} not that which is evil, but that which is good: He that doeth well is of God: but he that doeth evil seeth not God.
1:12
Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth. (congregation) Yea and we ourselves also bear record, and ye know that our record is true.
1:13
I have many things to write: But I will not with pen and ink write unto thee.
1:14
For I trust I {shortly see thee, and we} shall speak mouth to mouth. Peace be with thee. The lovers salute thee. Greet the lovers by name.
