1The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
1作长老的写信给亲爱的 该犹 ，就是我诚心所爱的。
2Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
2亲爱的 兄弟 啊，我愿你凡事兴盛，身体健壮，正如你的灵魂兴盛一样。
3I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
3有弟兄来证明你心里存的真理，正如你按真理而行，我就甚喜乐。
4I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
4我听见我的儿女们按真理而行，我的喜乐就没有比这个大的。
5Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
5亲爱的 兄弟 啊，凡你向作客旅之弟兄所行的都是忠心的。
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.
6他们在教会面前证明了你的爱；你若配得过 神，帮助他们往前行，这就好了。
7Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
7因他们是为主的名出外，对于外邦人一无所取。
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
8所以我们应该接待这样的人，叫我们与他们一同为真理做工。
9I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
9我曾略略地写信给教会，但那在教会中好为首的 丢特腓 不接待我们。
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.
10所以我若去，必要提说他所行的事，就是他用恶言妄论我们。还不以此为足，他自己不接待弟兄，有人愿意接待，他也禁止，并且将接待弟兄的人赶出教会。
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.
11亲爱的 兄弟 啊，不要效法恶，只要效法善。行善的属乎 神；行恶的未曾见过 神。
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.
12低米丢 行善 ，有众人给他作见证，又有真理给他作见证，就是我们也给他作见证。你也知道我们的见证是真的。
13I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee.
13我原有许多事要写给你，却不愿意用笔墨写给你，
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.
14但盼望快快地见你，我们就当面谈论。
