JOHN THE APOSTLE\n\nSt. John praises Gaius for his walking in truth and for his charity,\ncomplains of the bad conduct of Diotrephes and gives a good testimony to\nDemetrius.\n\n\n3 John Chapter 1\n\n1:1. The Ancient, to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.\n\n1:2. Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou\nmayest proceed prosperously and fare well, as thy soul doth\nprosperously.\n\n1:3. I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to\nthe truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.\n\n1:4. I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in\ntruth.\n\nNo greater grace... that is nothing that gives me greater joy and\nsatisfaction.\n\n1:5. Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the\nbrethren: and that for strangers,\n\n1:6. Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church.\nWhom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy\nof God:\n\n1:7. Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the\nGentiles.\n\nTaking nothing of the Gentiles... These ministers of the gospel are\ncommended by St. John, who took nothing from the Gentiles, lest they\nshould seem to preach in order to get money by it.\n\n1:8. We therefore ought to receive such: that we may be fellow helpers\nof the truth.\n\n1:9. I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to\nhave the preeminence among them, doth not receive us.\n\nDiotrephes who loveth... This man seemeth to be in power, but not a\nfriend to the faithful; therefore this part of the letter might be an\nadmonition to him from the apostle.\n\n1:11. Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil: but that which is\ngood. He that doth good is of God: he that doth evil hath not seen God.\n\n1:12. To Demetrius, testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself:\nyea and we also give testimony. And thou knowest that our testimony is\ntrue.\n\n1:13. I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and\npen write to thee.\n\n1:14. But I hope speedily to see thee: and we will speak mouth to mouth.\nPeace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 71: 3 John: The Challoner Revision","tradition":"scripture-revelation","translated_text":null,"word_count":489}
