3 John 1:1-7 ▼

1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.

2 Beloved, I desire that in all things thou shouldest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.

3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when [the] brethren came and bore testimony to thy [holding fast the] truth, even as thou walkest in truth.

4 I have no greater joy than these things that I hear of my children walking in the truth.

5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully [in] whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,

6 (who have witnessed of thy love before [the] assembly,) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;

7 for for the name have they gone forth, taking nothing of those of the nations.
