约翰三书
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
1 做长老的写信给亲爱的该犹，就是我诚心所爱的。 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。 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。 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。
该犹厚待客旅
5 亲爱的兄弟啊，凡你向做客旅之弟兄所行的，都是忠心的。 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。 7 因他们是为主的名[a]出外，对于外邦人一无所取。 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。
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。 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。
行善的属乎神
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。 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。
13 我原有许多事要写给你，却不愿意用笔墨写给你， 14 但盼望快快地见你，我们就当面谈论。 15 愿你平安！众位朋友都问你安。请你替我按着姓名问众位朋友安。

约翰三书
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 我这做长老的写信给亲爱的该犹，就是我本着真理所爱的人。 2 亲爱的弟兄，衷心地祝你凡事顺利，身体和灵魂一样健康。
该犹的好品行
3 有弟兄们来为你的行为做见证，说你忠心地遵行真理，这使我非常欣慰。 4 没有比听见自己的孩子遵行真理更使我欢喜了。
5 亲爱的弟兄，你常常忠心地照顾素不相识的弟兄， 6 他们把你的爱心告诉了教会。愿你照着上帝所喜悦的方式继续帮助他们， 7 因为他们为了主耶稣的名四处传道，不收取非信徒的任何东西。 8 我们应该接待这样的人，好与他们一同传扬真理。
丢特腓的恶行
9 我曾写信给你那里的教会，但喜欢做领袖的丢特腓不理会我们。 10 因此，我若去你们那里，会提及他的所作所为，就是他怎样恶言中伤我们。不仅如此，他还拒绝接待弟兄，并且禁止别人接待，甚至将接待的人赶出教会。
抑恶扬善
11 亲爱的弟兄，不要效法罪恶，要效法美善。行善的人属于上帝，行恶的人不认识上帝。 12 低米丢得到了众人的好评，真理本身也为他做见证，我们也为他做见证。你们知道我们的见证是真实的。
结语
13 我本来有很多事想跟你谈，但不想用笔墨写给你， 14 只希望可以快快地见到你，跟你当面畅谈。
15 祝你平安！这里的朋友们都问候你，请代我一一问候你那边的朋友。

Help Christians Who Teach Truth
1 From the Elder.[a]
To my dear friend Gaius whom I love in the truth:[b]
2 My dear friend, I know your soul is doing well. I pray that you are doing fine in every way and that your health is good. 3 Some brothers in Christ came and told me about the truth in your life. They said that you are following the way of truth. This made me very happy. 4 It always gives me the greatest joy when I hear that my children are following the way of truth.
5 My dear friend, it is good that you continue to help the brothers. You are helping those that you do not even know! 6 These brothers told the church about the love you have. Please help them to continue their trip. Help them in a way that will please God. 7 They started out on their trip to serve Christ. They did not accept any help from those who are not believers. 8 So we should help these brothers. And when we do, we share in their work for the truth.
9 I wrote a letter to the church. But Diotrephes will not listen to what we say. He always wants to be their leader. 10 When I come, I will talk about what Diotrephes is doing. He lies and says evil things about us. But that is not all he does. He refuses to help those who are working to serve Christ. He also stops those who want to help the brothers and puts them out of the church.
11 My dear friend, do not follow what is bad; follow what is good. He who does what is good is from God. But he who does evil has never known God.
12 Everyone says good things about Demetrius. And the truth agrees with what they say. Also, we say good about him. And you know that what we say is true.
13 I have many things I want to tell you, but I do not want to use pen and ink. 14 I hope to visit you soon. Then we can be together and talk. 15 Peace to you. The friends here with me send their love. Please give our love to each one of the friends there.
