3Jn 1 (King James)

¹ The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
² Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
³ For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
⁵ Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
⁶ Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
⁷ Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
⁹ I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
¹⁰ Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
¹¹ Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
¹² Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
¹³ I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
¹⁴ But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

3Jn 1 (Vulgate)

¹ Senior Gajo carissimo, quem ego diligo in veritate.
² Carissime, de omnibus orationem facio prospere te ingredi, et valere sicut prospere agit anima tua.
³ Gavisus sum valde venientibus fratribus, et testimonium perhibentibus veritati tuæ, sicut tu in veritate ambulas.
⁴ Majorem horum non habeo gratiam, quam ut audiam filios meos in veritate ambulare.
⁵ Carissime, fideliter facis quidquid operaris in fratres, et hoc in peregrinos,
⁶ qui testimonium reddiderunt caritati tuæ in conspectu ecclesiæ : quos, benefaciens, deduces digne Deo.
⁷ Pro nomine enim ejus profecti sunt, nihil accipientes a gentibus.
⁸ Nos ergo debemus suscipere hujusmodi, ut cooperatores simus veritatis.
⁹ Scripsissem forsitan ecclesiæ : sed is qui amat primatum gerere in eis, Diotrephes, non recipit nos :
¹⁰ propter hoc si venero, commonebo ejus opera, quæ facit, verbis malignis garriens in nos : et quasi non ei ista sufficiant, neque ipse suscipit fratres : et eos qui suscipiunt, prohibet, et de ecclesia ejicit.
¹¹ Carissime, noli imitari malum, sed quod bonum est. Qui benefacit, ex Deo est : qui malefacit, non vidit Deum.
¹² Demetrio testimonium redditur ab omnibus, et ab ipsa veritate, sed et nos testimonium perhibemus : et nosti quoniam testimonium nostrum verum est.
¹³ Multa habui tibi scribere : sed nolui per atramentum et calamum scribere tibi.
¹⁴ Spero autem protinus te videre, et os ad os loquemur. Pax tibi. Salutant te amici. Saluta amicos nominatim.
