Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
1ο πρεσβυτεροσ γαιω τω αγαπητω ον εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια
2Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
2αγαπητε περι παντων ευχομαι σε ευοδουσθαι και υγιαινειν καθωσ ευοδουται σου η ψυχη
3I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
3εχαρην γαρ λιαν ερχομενων αδελφων και μαρτυρουντων σου τη αληθεια καθωσ συ εν αληθεια περιπατεισ
4I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
4μειζοτεραν τουτων ουκ εχω χαραν ινα ακουω τα εμα τεκνα εν αληθεια περιπατουντα
5Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
5αγαπητε πιστον ποιεισ ο εαν εργαση εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και εισ τουσ ξενουσ
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.
6οι εμαρτυρησαν σου τη αγαπη ενωπιον εκκλησιασ ουσ καλωσ ποιησεισ προπεμψασ αξιωσ του θεου
7Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
7υπερ γαρ του ονοματοσ εξηλθον μηδεν λαμβανοντεσ απο των εθνων
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
8ημεισ ουν οφειλομεν απολαμβανειν τουσ τοιουτουσ ινα συνεργοι γινωμεθα τη αληθεια
9I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
9εγραψα τη εκκλησια αλλ ο φιλοπρωτευων αυτων διοτρεφησ ουκ επιδεχεται ημασ
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.
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
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.
11αγαπητε μη μιμου το κακον αλλα το αγαθον ο αγαθοποιων εκ του θεου εστιν ο κακοποιων ουχ εωρακεν τον θεον
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.
12δημητριω μεμαρτυρηται υπο παντων και υπ αυτησ τησ αληθειασ και ημεισ δε μαρτυρουμεν και οιδατε οτι η μαρτυρια ημων αληθησ εστιν
13I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and pen write to thee.
13πολλα ειχον γραφειν αλλ ου θελω δια μελανοσ και καλαμου σοι γραψαι
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.
14ελπιζω δε ευθεωσ ιδειν σε και στομα προσ στομα λαλησομεν ειρηνη σοι ασπαζονται σε οι φιλοι ασπαζου τουσ φιλουσ κατ ονομα
