| [1]The elder vnto ye beloued Gaius, whom I loue in the trueth |
[1]Ὁ πρεσβύτερος Γαΐῳ τῷ ἀγαπητῷ, ὃν ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ. |
| [2]Beloued, I wishe in all thynges that thou prosperedst and faredst well, euen as thy soule prospereth |
[2]Ἀγαπητέ, περὶ πάντων εὔχομαί σε εὐοδοῦσθαι καὶ ὑγιαίνειν, καθὼς εὐοδοῦταί σου ἡ ψυχή. |
| [3]For I reioyced greatly, when the brethren came & testified of the trueth that is in thee, how thou walkest in ye trueth |
[3]ἐχάρην γὰρ λίαν ἐρχομένων ἀδελφῶν καὶ μαρτυρούντων σου τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, καθὼς σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς. |
| [4]I haue no greater ioy, the for to heare how that my sonnes walke in veritie |
[4]μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω ⸀χαράν, ἵνα ἀκούω τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα ἐν ⸀τῇ ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα. |
| [5]Beloued, thou doest faythfully whatsoeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to straungers |
[5]Ἀγαπητέ, πιστὸν ποιεῖς ὃ ἐὰν ἐργάσῃ εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ ⸀τοῦτο ξένους, |
| [6]Which beare witnesse of thy loue before the Churche. Which brethren, yf thou bryng forwardes of their iourney after a godly sorte, thou shalt do well |
[6]οἳ ἐμαρτύρησάν σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐνώπιον ἐκκλησίας, οὓς καλῶς ποιήσεις προπέμψας ἀξίως τοῦ θεοῦ· |
| [7]Because that for his names sake they went foorth, and toke nothyng of the gentiles |
[7]ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἐξῆλθον μηδὲν λαμβάνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ⸀ἐθνικῶν. |
| [8]We therfore ought to receaue such, that we myght be helpers to the trueth |
[8]ἡμεῖς οὖν ὀφείλομεν ⸀ὑπολαμβάνειν τοὺς τοιούτους, ἵνα συνεργοὶ γινώμεθα τῇ ἀληθείᾳ. |
| [9]I wrote vnto the Churche: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence among the, receaueth vs not |
[9]Ἔγραψά ⸀τι τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· ἀλλʼ ὁ φιλοπρωτεύων αὐτῶν Διοτρέφης οὐκ ἐπιδέχεται ἡμᾶς. |
| [10]Wherfore yf I come, I wyll declare his deedes which he doth, iestyng on vs with malicious wordes, neither is therwith content: not only he hym selfe receaueth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth the that woulde, and thrusteth them out of the Churche |
[10]διὰ τοῦτο, ἐὰν ἔλθω, ὑπομνήσω αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖ, λόγοις πονηροῖς φλυαρῶν ἡμᾶς, καὶ μὴ ἀρκούμενος ἐπὶ τούτοις οὔτε αὐτὸς ἐπιδέχεται τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τοὺς βουλομένους κωλύει καὶ ἐκ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐκβάλλει. |
| [11]Beloued, folow not that which is euyl, but that which is good. He that doth well, is of God: but he that doth euyll, seeth not God |
[11]Ἀγαπητέ, μὴ μιμοῦ τὸ κακὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ ἀγαθόν. ὁ ἀγαθοποιῶν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν· ὁ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακεν τὸν θεόν. |
| [12]Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the trueth it selfe: Yea, and we our selues also beare recorde, and ye knowe that our recorde is true |
[12]Δημητρίῳ μεμαρτύρηται ὑπὸ πάντων καὶ ὑπὸ αὐτῆς τῆς ἀληθείας· καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ μαρτυροῦμεν, καὶ ⸀οἶδας ὅτι ἡ μαρτυρία ἡμῶν ἀληθής ἐστιν. |
| [13]I haue many thynges to write: but I wyll not with inke and penne write vnto thee |
[13]Πολλὰ εἶχον ⸂γράψαι σοι⸃, ἀλλʼ οὐ θέλω διὰ μέλανος καὶ καλάμου σοι ⸀γράφειν· |
| [14]{ I trust I shal shortly see thee, and we shall speake mouth to mouth. Peace be vnto thee. The louers salute thee. Greete the louers by name} |
[14]ἐλπίζω δὲ εὐθέως ⸂σε ἰδεῖν⸃, καὶ στόμα πρὸς στόμα λαλήσομεν. |
| 15[No verse] |
[15]Εἰρήνη σοι. ἀσπάζονταί σε οἱ φίλοι. ἀσπάζου τοὺς φίλους κατʼ ὄνομα. |
