3 John 1-4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth[a].
May You Prosper In All Things, Just As Your Soul Is Prospering Because You Walk In The Truth
2 Beloved, I pray[b] that with respect to all things you may prosper and be healthy, just as your soul is prospering. 3 For I rejoiced greatly while brothers were coming and testifying concerning your truth— how[c] you are walking in the truth. 4 I have no joy greater than these things: that I may be hearing-of my children walking in the truth.
