¹

The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.

¹

(За? о7ѕ7.) Стaрецъ гaіеви возлю1бленному, є3г0же ѓзъ люблю2 вои1стинну.

²

Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

²

Возлю1бленне, во всёхъ молю1сz (њ тебЁ) благоспёzтисz тебЁ и3 здрaвствовати, ћкоже благоспёетсz тебЁ душA.

³

For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.

³

Возрaдовахсz ѕэлw2, пришeдшымъ брaтіzмъ и3 свидётелствующымъ твою2 и4стину, ћкоже ты2 во и4стинэ х0диши.

⁴

Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in truth.

⁴

Б0лши сеS не и4мамъ рaдости, да слhшу мо‰ ч†да во и4стинэ ход‰ща.

⁵

Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward the brethren and toward strangers;

⁵

Возлю1бленне, вёрнw твори1ши, є4же ѓще дёлаеши въ брaтію и3 въ стр†нныz,

⁶

who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:

⁶

и5же свидётелствоваша њ твоeй любви2 пред8 цRковію: и5хже предпослaвъ дост0йнw бGу, д0брэ твори1ши,

⁷

because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

⁷

њ и4мени бо є3гw2 и3зыд0ша, ничт0же пріeмлюще t kзы6къ.

⁸

We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

⁸

Мы2 u5бо д0лжни є3смы2 пріимaти таковhхъ, да поспBшницы бyдемъ и4стинэ.

⁹

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

⁹

Писaхъ цRкви: но первенстволю1бецъ и4хъ діотрeфъ не пріeмлетъ нaсъ.

¹⁰

Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth them out of the church.

¹⁰

Сегw2 рaди, ѓще пріидY, воспомzнY є3гw2 дэлA, ћже твори1тъ, словєсы2 лукaвыми ўкорsz нaсъ: и3 недов0ленъ бывaz њ си1хъ, ни сaмъ пріeмлетъ брaтію, и3 хотsщымъ возбранsетъ, и3 t цRкве и3зг0нитъ.

¹¹

Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

¹¹

Возлю1бленне, не ўподоблsйсz ѕл0му, но бlг0му. Благотворsй t бGа є4сть: ґ ѕлотворsй не ви1дэ бGа.

¹²

Demetrius hath the witness of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and ye know that our witness is true.

¹²

Дими1тріеви свидётелствовасz t всёхъ и3 t сaмыz и4стины: и3 мh же свидётелствуемъ, и3 вёсте, ћкw свидётелство нaше и4стинно є4сть.

¹³

I had many things to write, but I am unwilling to write them to thee with ink and pen:

¹³

МнHга и3мёхъ писaти, но не хощY черни1ломъ и3 тр0стію писaти тебЁ,

¹⁴

but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face.

¹⁴

ўповaю же ѓбіе ви1дэти тS и3 ўсты6 ко ўстHмъ глаг0лати.

¹⁵

Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.

¹⁵

Ми1ръ тебЁ. Цэлyютъ тS дрyзи: цэлyй дрyги по и4мени. Ґми1нь.
