3 John

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you Pray without ceasing For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God

3 John 1

1 The elder,

To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3 It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way in a manner that honors God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. 8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.

9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. 10 So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.

13 I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.

Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.
