3-e Иоанна
New Russian Translation
1 От старейшины[a].
Дорогому Гаю, которого я люблю как пребывающего в истине.
2 Дорогой мой, я молюсь, чтобы все у тебя было благополучно и чтобы ты был здоров так же, как благополучна твоя душа. 3 Меня очень обрадовало, что приходившие братья свидетельствовали о твоей верности, как ты ходишь в истине. 4 Для меня нет большей радости, чем слышать о том, что мои дети ходят в истине.
Поощрение и упрек
5 Дорогой мой, ты верен во всем, что бы ты ни делал для братьев, даже если они незнакомы тебе лично[b]. 6 Они засвидетельствовали о твоей любви перед церковью, и будет хорошо, если ты поможешь им продолжить путешествие. Сделай это так, как подобает перед Богом. 7 Они ради имени Иисуса отправились в путь, ничего не взяв от язычников. 8 Мы должны поддерживать таких людей, чтобы содействовать распространению истины.
9 Я написал церкви, но Диотреф, который любит у них главенствовать, не принимает нас. 10 Если я приду, то расскажу, чем он занимается, распространяя о нас злые слухи. Мало этого, он сам отказывается принимать братьев, запрещает это другим и выгоняет из церкви тех, кто хочет это делать.
11 Дорогой мой, не подражай злу, но подражай добру. Кто делает добро, тот от Бога, а кто делает зло, тот Бога не видел. 12 Все хорошо говорят о Димитрии, то же говорит и сама истина. Мы и сами тому свидетели, и ты знаешь, что наше свидетельство верно.
13 Еще о многом я хотел бы тебе сказать, но не буду доверять это чернилам и перу. 14 Я надеюсь скоро тебя увидеть, и тогда мы поговорим лично.
15 Мир тебе. Твои друзья передают тебе привет. Привет всем нашим друзьям, каждому лично.

1 The elder,(A)
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(B) came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.(C) 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children(D) are walking in the truth.(E)
5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters,[a](F) even though they are strangers to you.(G) 6 They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way(H) in a manner that honors(I) God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name(J) that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.(K) 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,(L) 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.(M) He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.(N)
11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.(O) Anyone who does what is good is from God.(P) Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.(Q) 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone(R)—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.(S)
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.(T)
15 Peace to you.(U) The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.(V)

Greeting to Gaius
1 The Elder,
To the beloved Gaius, (A)whom I love in truth:
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 For I (B)rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater (C)joy than to hear that (D)my children walk in [a]truth.
Gaius Commended for Generosity
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren [b]and for strangers, 6 who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, 7 because they went forth for His name’s sake, (E)taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to (F)receive[c] such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.
Diotrephes and Demetrius
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us. 10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, (G)prating[d] against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.
11 Beloved, (H)do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. (I)He who does good is of God, [e]but he who does evil has not seen (J)God.
12 Demetrius (K)has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also [f]bear witness, (L)and you know that our testimony is true.
Farewell Greeting
13 (M)I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink; 14 but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face.
Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
