約翰三書 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1作長老的寫信給親愛的 該猶 ，就是我誠心所愛的。
1The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
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。
2Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
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。
3I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest 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。
4I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
5親愛的 兄弟 啊，凡你向作客旅之弟兄所行的都是忠心的。
5Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
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。
6Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church: whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God.
7因他們是為主的名出外，對於外邦人一無所取。
7Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
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。
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
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。
9I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
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。
10For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.
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。
11Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God.
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。
12To Demetrius testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself, yea and we also give testimony: and thou knowest that our testimony is true.
13我原有許多事要寫給你，卻不願意用筆墨寫給你，
13I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee.
14但盼望快快地見你，我們就當面談論。
14But I hope speedily to see thee, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.
15願你平安。眾位朋友都問你安。請你替我按着姓名問眾位朋友安。
