The elder, To Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.

Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to prosper and to be in good health, just as prospers your soul.

I rejoiced for exceedingly when were coming [the] brothers and those bearing witness from you to the to truth, just as you in truth are walking.

Greater than these things not I have joy, that I may hear of my children in the truth walking.

Beloved, faithfully you are doing whatever maybe you shall do for the brothers, and that [thing] strangers,

who testified of your love before [the] church, whom well you will do, having set forward worthily of God.

On behalf for of the name they went forth, nothing accepting from the Gentile [people]

We therefore ought to receive such [men], so that fellow workers we may be in the truth.

I have written something to the church; but the [one] loving to be first among them, Diotrephes, not welcomes us.

Because of this, if I shall come, I will bring to remembrance of him the works which he is doing, with words evil prating against us; and not being satisfied with these, neither himself he receives the brothers, and those purposing, he forbids, and from the church he casts [them] out.

Beloved, not do imitate what [is] evil, but what [is] good. The [one] doing good, of God is; the [one] doing evil, not has seen God.

To Demetrius witness has been given by all, and by itself the truth; and we also bear witness, and you know that the testimony of us true is.

Many things I had to write to you, but not I desire with ink and pen to you to write.

I hope however soon, you to see, and mouth to mouth we will speak.

Peace to you. Greet you, the friends. do greet the friends by name.
