Chapter 1
1 The senior unto the beloved gayus, whom I love in the trueth.
2 Wel-beloved I wisshe in all thynges thatt thou prosperedest and faredest well, even as thy soule prospereth.
3 I reioysed greatly when the brethren cam and testified off the trueth that is in the, howe thou in troth walkest.
4 I have no gretter ioye then forto heare howe that my sonnes walke in veritie.
5 Derely beloved thou doest faythfully whatt soever thou doest to the brethren, and to straungers,
6 which bare witnes of thy love before all the congregacion. Which brethren when thou bryngest forwardes on their iorney (as it besemet God) thou shalt do wele:
7 because that for his names sake they went forth, and toke nothynge of the gentyls.
8 We therfore ought to receave soche, that we also myght be helpers to the trueth.
9 I wrote unto the congregacion: but Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence amonge them, receaveth us not,
10 wherfore yf I come I will declare his dedes which he doeth iestynge on us with malicious wordes, nether is therewith content. Not only he hym silfe receaveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them thatt wolde and thrusteth them out of the congregacion.
11 Derely beloved countersait not that which is evyll but that which is good: He that doeth well is off God: but he that doeth evyll seith not God.
12 Demetrius hath good reporte off all men, and of the trueth: Yee and we oure selves also beare recorde, and ye knowe that oure recorde is true.
13 I have many thinges to wryte: But I willnot with pen and ynke wryte vnto the.
14 For I trust I shall shortly se the, and we shall speake mouth to mouth. Peace be with the The lovers salute the. Grete the lovers by name.
