Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:
1ο πρεσβυτεροσ γαιω τω αγαπητω ον εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια
2Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.
2αγαπητε περι παντων ευχομαι σε ευοδουσθαι και υγιαινειν καθωσ ευοδουται σου η ψυχη
3For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.
3εχαρην γαρ λιαν ερχομενων αδελφων και μαρτυρουντων σου τη αληθεια καθωσ συ εν αληθεια περιπατεισ
4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
4μειζοτεραν τουτων ουκ εχω χαραν ινα ακουω τα εμα τεκνα εν αληθεια περιπατουντα
5Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.
5αγαπητε πιστον ποιεισ ο εαν εργαση εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και εισ τουσ ξενουσ
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.
6οι εμαρτυρησαν σου τη αγαπη ενωπιον εκκλησιασ ουσ καλωσ ποιησεισ προπεμψασ αξιωσ του θεου
7For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
7υπερ γαρ του ονοματοσ εξηλθον μηδεν λαμβανοντεσ απο των εθνων
8Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
8ημεισ ουν οφειλομεν απολαμβανειν τουσ τοιουτουσ ινα συνεργοι γινωμεθα τη αληθεια
9I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.
9εγραψα τη εκκλησια αλλ ο φιλοπρωτευων αυτων διοτρεφησ ουκ επιδεχεται ημασ
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.
10δια τουτο εαν ελθω υπομνησω αυτου τα εργα α ποιει λογοισ πονηροισ φλυαρων ημασ και μη αρκουμενοσ επι τουτοισ ουτε αυτοσ επιδεχεται τουσ αδελφουσ και τουσ βουλομενουσ κωλυει και εκ τησ εκκλησιασ εκβαλλει
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.
11αγαπητε μη μιμου το κακον αλλα το αγαθον ο αγαθοποιων εκ του θεου εστιν ο κακοποιων ουχ εωρακεν τον θεον
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.
12δημητριω μεμαρτυρηται υπο παντων και υπ αυτησ τησ αληθειασ και ημεισ δε μαρτυρουμεν και οιδατε οτι η μαρτυρια ημων αληθησ εστιν
13I have many things to write to you, but I would prefer not to do so with pen and ink.
13πολλα ειχον γραφειν αλλ ου θελω δια μελανοσ και καλαμου σοι γραψαι
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.
14ελπιζω δε ευθεωσ ιδειν σε και στομα προσ στομα λαλησομεν ειρηνη σοι ασπαζονται σε οι φιλοι ασπαζου τουσ φιλουσ κατ ονομα
