[1]The elderG4245 unto the wellbelovedG27 GaiusG1050, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25[G5719] inG1722 the truthG225. |
[1]Ὁ πρεσβύτερος Γαΐῳ τῷ ἀγαπητῷ, ὃν ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ. |
[2]BelovedG27, I wishG2172[G5736] aboveG4012 all thingsG3956 that thouG4571 mayest prosperG2137[G5745] andG2532 be in healthG5198[G5721], even asG2531 thyG4675 soulG5590 prosperethG2137.[G5743] |
[2]᾿Αγαπητέ, περὶ πάντων εὔχομαί σε εὐοδοῦσθαι καὶ ὑγιαίνειν, καθὼς εὐοδοῦταί σου ἡ ψυχή. |
[3]ForG1063 I rejoicedG5463[G5644] greatlyG3029, when the brethrenG80 cameG2064[G5740] andG2532 testifiedG3140[G5723] of the truthG225 that is in theeG4675, even asG2531 thouG4771 walkestG4043[G5719] inG1722 the truthG225. |
[3]ἐχάρην γὰρ λίαν ἐρχομένων ἀδελφῶν καὶ μαρτυρούντων σου τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, καθὼς σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς. |
[4]I haveG2192[G5719] noG3756 greaterG3186[G5130] joyG5479 than toG2443 hearG191[G5725] that myG1699 childrenG5043 walkG4043[G5723] inG1722 truthG225. |
[4]μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω χαράν, ἵνα ἀκούω τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα. |
[5]BelovedG27, thou doestG4160[G5719] faithfullyG4103 whatsoeverG3739[G1437] thou doestG2038[G5667] toG1519 the brethrenG80, andG2532 toG1519 strangersG3581; |
[5]᾿Αγαπητέ, πιστὸν ποιεῖς ὃ ἐὰν ἐργάσῃ εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ εἰς τοὺς ξένους, |
[6]WhichG3739 have borne witnessG3140[G5656] of thyG4675 charityG26 beforeG1799 the churchG1577: whomG3739 if thou bring forward on their journeyG4311[G5660] afterG516 a godlyG2316 sortG516, thou shalt doG4160[G5692] wellG2573: |
[6]οἳ ἐμαρτύρησάν σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐνώπιον ἐκκλησίας, οὓς καλῶς ποιήσεις προπέμψας ἀξίως τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
[7]Because thatG1063 forG5228 hisG846 name'sG3686 sakeG5228 they went forthG1831[G5627], takingG2983[G5723] nothingG3367 ofG575 the GentilesG1484. |
[7]ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἐξῆλθον, μηδὲν λαμβάνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνικῶν. |
[8]WeG2249 thereforeG3767 oughtG3784[G5719] to receiveG618[G5721] suchG5108, thatG2443 we might beG1096[G5741] fellowhelpersG4904 to the truthG225. |
[8]ἡμεῖς οὖν ὀφείλομεν ἀπολαμβάνειν τοὺς τοιούτους, ἵνα συνεργοὶ γινώμεθα τῇ ἀληθείᾳ. |
[9]I wroteG1125[G5656] unto the churchG1577: butG235 DiotrephesG1361, whoG3588 loveth to have the preeminenceG5383[G5723] among themG846, receivethG1926[G5736] usG2248 notG3756. |
[9]῎Εγραψα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· ἀλλ᾿ ὁ φιλοπρωτεύων αὐτῶν Διοτρεφὴς οὐκ ἐπιδέχεται ἡμᾶς. |
[10]WhereforeG1223[G5124], ifG1437 I comeG2064[G5632], I will rememberG5279[G5692] hisG846 deedsG2041 whichG3739 he doethG4160[G5719], prating againstG5396[G5723] usG2248 with maliciousG4190 wordsG3056: andG2532 notG3361 contentG714[G5746] therewithG1909[G5125], neitherG3777 dothG1926 he himselfG846 receiveG1926[G5736] the brethrenG80, andG2532 forbiddethG2967[G5719] them that wouldG1014[G5740], andG2532 castethG1544[G5719] them out ofG1537 the churchG1577. |
[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]BelovedG27, followG3401[G5737] notG3361 that which is evilG2556, butG235 that which is goodG18. He that doeth goodG15[G5723] isG2076[G5748] ofG1537 GodG2316: butG1161 he that doeth evilG2554[G5723] hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708[G5758] GodG2316. |
[11]᾿Αγαπητέ, μὴ μιμοῦ τὸ κακόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἀγαθόν. ὁ ἀγαθοποιῶν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν· ὁ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακε τὸν Θεόν. |
[12]DemetriusG1216 hath good reportG3140[G5769] ofG5259 allG3956 men, andG2532 ofG5259 the truthG225 itselfG846: yeaG1161, andG2532 weG2249 also bear recordG3140[G5719]; andG2532 ye knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 ourG2257 recordG3141 isG2076[G5748] trueG227. |
[12]Δημητρίῳ μεμαρτύρηται ὑπὸ πάντων καὶ ὑπ᾿ αὐτῆς τῆς ἀληθείας· καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ μαρτυροῦμεν, καὶ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ μαρτυρία ἡμῶν ἀληθής ἐστι. |
[13]I hadG2192[G5707] many thingsG4183 to writeG1125[G5721], butG235 I willG2309[G5719] notG3756 withG1223 inkG3188 andG2532 penG2563 writeG1125[G5658] unto theeG4671: |
[13]Πολλὰ εἶχον γράφειν, ἀλλ᾿ οὐ θέλω διὰ μέλανος καὶ καλάμου σοι γράψαι· |
[14]ButG1161 I trustG1679[G5719] I shallG1492 shortlyG2112 seeG1492[G5629] theeG4571, andG2532 we shall speakG2980[G5692] faceG4750 toG4314 faceG4750. PeaceG1515 be to theeG4671. Our friendsG5384 saluteG782[G5736] theeG4571. GreetG782[G5737] the friendsG5384 byG2596 nameG3686. |
[14]ἐλπίζω δὲ εὐθέως ἰδεῖν σε, καὶ στόμα πρὸς στόμα λαλήσομεν. |
