¶ The thyrde epistle of saynct Iohn.
¶ He is glad of Gayus, that he walketh in the trueth:
exhorteth them to be louynge vnto the poore Christen
in theyr persecucion, sheweth the vnkynde dealynge of
Diotrephes, and the good reporte of Demertrius.
A The elder vnto þe; beloued Gayus
wh&obar; I loue in the trueth. Beloued
I wisshe in all thynges that
thou prosperedest, and faredest
well, euen as thy soule prospereth,
For I reioysed greatly, wh&ebar; þe; brethren
came, and testifyed of the trueth that
is in the, how thou walkest in the trueth. I
haue no greater ioye, th&ebar; for to heare, how
that my sonnes walke in veritye.
B Beloued
thou doest faythfully, what soeuer þu; doest
to þe; brethren, and to stra&ubar;gers, which beare
wytnes of thy loue before the congregacyon.
Which brethren if thou brynge forwardes
of theyr iorney (after a godly sorte)
þu; shalt do well: because that for his names
sake they w&ebar;t forth: and toke nothynge
of the G&ebar;tyls.
C We therfore ought to receaue
such, that we myght be helpers to the
trueth. I wrote vnto the congregaci&obar;: but
Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence
am&obar;ge them, receaueth vs not.
Wherfore yf I come, I will declare hys
dedes which he doeth, iestinge on vs &wt; malicious
wordes, nether is therewith cont&ebar;t.
Not onely he him selfe receaueth not þe; brethren:
but also he forbyddeth th&ebar; þt; wolde,
and thrusteth them out of the congregaci&obar;.
D Beloued, folowe not that which is euyll,
but that which is good. He that doeth well
is of God: but he that doeth euill, seyth not
God. Demetrius hath good reporte of all
men ∧ of the trueth it selfe. yee, and we oure
selues also beare recorde, ∧ ye knowe, that
oure recorde is true. I had many th&ibar;ges to
wryte: but I will not with ynke and penne
wryte vnto the. I trust I shall shortly se þe;
∧ we shall speake mouth to mouth. Peace
be vnto the. The louers salute the. Grete
the louers by name.
