Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:
1作長老的寫信給親愛的 該猶 ，就是我誠心所愛的。
2Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.
2親愛的 兄弟 啊，我願你凡事興盛，身體健壯，正如你的靈魂興盛一樣。
3For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.
3有弟兄來證明你心裏存的真理，正如你按真理而行，我就甚喜樂。
4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
4我聽見我的兒女們按真理而行，我的喜樂就沒有比這個大的。
5Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.
5親愛的 兄弟 啊，凡你向作客旅之弟兄所行的都是忠心的。
6They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
6他們在教會面前證明了你的愛；你若配得過上帝，幫助他們往前行，這就好了。
7For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
7因他們是為主的名出外，對於外邦人一無所取。
8Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
8所以我們應該接待這樣的人，叫我們與他們一同為真理做工。
9I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.
9我曾略略地寫信給教會，但那在教會中好為首的 丟特腓 不接待我們。
10So if I come, I will call attention to his malicious slander against us. And unsatisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers and forbids those who want to do so, even putting them out of the church.
10所以我若去，必要提說他所行的事，就是他用惡言妄論我們。還不以此為足，他自己不接待弟兄，有人願意接待，他也禁止，並且將接待弟兄的人趕出教會。
11Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
11親愛的 兄弟 啊，不要效法惡，只要效法善。行善的屬乎上帝；行惡的未曾見過上帝。
12Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.
12低米丟 行善 ，有眾人給他作見證，又有真理給他作見證，就是我們也給他作見證。你也知道我們的見證是真的。
13I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with pen and ink.
13我原有許多事要寫給你，卻不願意用筆墨寫給你，
14Instead, I hope to see you soon and speak with you face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send you greetings. Greet each of our friends there by name.
14但盼望快快地見你，我們就當面談論。
