13 The children of your elect sister greet you.
Greeting
1 (A)The elder to the beloved Gaius, (B)whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 For (C)I rejoiced greatly when the brothers[a] came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that (D)my children are walking in the truth.
Support and Opposition
5 Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for (E)these brothers, (F)strangers as they are, 6 who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner (G)worthy of God. 7 For they have gone out for the sake of (H)the name, (I)accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
9 I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. 10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church.
11 Beloved, (J)do not imitate evil but imitate good. (K)Whoever does good is from God; (L)whoever does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius (M)has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also add our testimony, and (N)you know that our testimony is true.
Final Greetings
13 (O)I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.
15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, (P)each by name.

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