3 John 1-4

New International Reader's Version

¹ I, the elder, am writing this letter.

I am sending it to you, my dear friend Gaius. I love you because of the truth.

² Dear friend, I know that your spiritual life is going well. I pray that you also may enjoy good health. And I pray that everything else may go well with you. ³ Some believers came to me and told me that you are faithful to the truth. They told me that you continue to live by it. This news gave me great joy. ⁴ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are living by the truth.
