3 John 1
1 THE presbyter unto Gaios my beloved, whom I love in truth.2 Our beloved, in all things I pray for thee, that thou mayest prosper and be healthful, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 For I have rejoiced greatly when the brethren have come, and have testified concerning thy integrity, even as in the truth thou walkest.4 And greater joy than this I have not (than) when I hear that my sons walk in the truth.5 Our beloved, in faithfulness thou performest what thou doest unto the brethren, and especially to those who are strangers,6 who have testified of thy charity, before all the church, to whom thou hast done well according to that which is worthy of Aloha.7 For after his name they went forth, taking nothing from the Gentiles.8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be helpers of the truth.
9 12 Concerning Demetrios is a testimony from every man, and from the church, and from the truth itself. But we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.13 I have many things which I would write to thee, but I will not with ink and reed write to thee.14 But I hope that soon I shall see thee, and mouth to mouth we will speak. Peace be with thee. The friends ask thy peace. Ask the peace of the friends each by his name.
