요한삼서 1장 NASB

1. ¹ The elder to the beloved Gaius whom I love in truth.
2. ² Beloved I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health just as your soul prospers.
3. ³ For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth that is how you are walking in truth.
4. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this to hear of my children walking in the truth.
5. ⁵ Beloved you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren and especially when they are strangers;
6. ⁶ and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
7. ⁷ For they went out for the sake of the Name accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
8. ⁸ Therefore we ought to support such men so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.
9. ⁹ I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes who loves to be first among them does not accept what we say.
10. ¹⁰ For this reason if I come I will call attention to his deeds which he does unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this he himself does not receive the brethren either and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.
11. ¹¹ Beloved do not imitate what is evil but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
12. ¹² Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony and you know that our testimony is true.
13. ¹³ I had many things to write to you but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink;
14. ¹⁴ but I hope to see you shortly and we will speak face to face.
