3 Grace be with us, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found some of your children living in the truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech you, O mother church, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

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

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children follow the truth.
5 Our beloved, you do faithfully that which you do to the brethren, especially to those who are strangers;
6 Who have borne witness concerning your love before the whole church: for the good things which you have done for them by supplying their needs, as is pleasing to God,
7 Because they have gone forth for his nameÆs sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
8 We, therefore, ought to welcome such, so that we may be fellow helpers to the truth.
9 I wrote to the church, that Di-otÆre-phes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, would not receive us.

11 Our beloved, do not follow that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God: but he who does evil has not seen God.
12 De-meÆtri-us has good report of all men, and of the church, and of the truth itself: yea, we also testify for him; and we know that our testimony is true.
13 I had many things to write, but I do not want to write them to you with ink and pen:
