¶2; The third Epistle of Iohn.
Walking in trueth and loue.
1339
Hee commendeth Gaius for his pietie 5 and
hospitalitie 7 to true preachers: 9 Complaining
of the vnkind dealing of ambitious
Diotrephes on the contrary side: 11 Whose
euill example is not to bee followed: 12 And
giueth speciall testimonie to the good report
of Demetrius.
1
The Elder vnto the welbeloued
Gaius, whom I
loue note in the trueth:
2
Beloued, I note wish aboue
all things that thou
Walking in trueth and loue.
mayest prosper and be in health, euen
as thy soule prospereth.
3
For I reioyced greatly when the
brethren came and testified of the truth
that is in thee, euen as thou walkest in
the trueth.
4
I haue no greater ioy, then to
heare that my children walke in truth.
5
Beloued, thou doest faithfully
whatsoeuer thou doest to the Brethren,
and to strangers:
6
Which haue borne witnesse of thy
charitie before the Church: whome if
-- --
Called in Christ.
thou bring forward on their iourney
after a godly sort, thou shalt doe well:
7
Because that for his Names sake
they went foorth, taking nothing of
the Gentiles.
8
We therefore ought to receiue such,
that we might be fellow helpers to the
trueth.
9
I wrote vnto the Church, but
Diotrephes, who loueth to haue the
preeminence among them, receiueth vs
not.
10
Wherefore if I come, I will remember
his deeds which he doeth, prating
against vs with malicious words:
and not content therewith, neither
doth hee himselfe receiue the brethren,
and forbiddeth them that would, and
casteth them out of the Church.
11
Beloued, follow not that which
is euill, but that which is good. He that
doth good, is of God: but hee that doth
euill, hath not seene God.
12
Demetrius hath good report of
all men, and of the trueth it selfe: yea,
and we also beare record, and ye know
that our record is true.
13
I had many things to write, but
I will not with inke and pen write vnto
thee.
14
But I trust I shall shortly see
thee, and wee shall speake note face to face.
Peace bee to thee. Our friends salute
thee. Greet the friends by name.
