¹ The ho elder presbyteros to the elect eklektos lady kyria and kai · ho her autos children teknon, whom hos I egō love agapaō in en truth alētheia ( and kai not ou I egō alone monos, but alla also kai all pas who ho know ginōskō the ho truth alētheia), ² because of dia the ho truth alētheia that ho abides menō in en us hēmeis and kai will be eimi with meta us hēmeis for eis all ho time aiōn: ³ Grace charis, mercy eleos, and peace eirēnē will be eimi with meta us hēmeis, from para God theos the Father patēr and kai from para Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos the ho Son hyios of ho the Father patēr, in en truth alētheia and kai in love agapē.

⁴ I rejoiced chairō greatly lian because hoti I have found heuriskō some of ek · ho your sy children teknon walking peripateō in en the truth alētheia, just as kathōs we received lambanō commandment entolē from para the ho Father patēr. ⁵ And kai now nyn I ask erōtaō you sy, dear lady kyria— not ou as though hōs I were writing graphō a new kainos commandment entolē to you sy, but alla the one hos we have had echō from apo the beginning archē— that hina we love agapaō one another allēlōn. ⁶ And kai this houtos is eimi · ho love agapē: that hina we walk peripateō according to kata · ho his autos commandments entolē. This houtos is eimi the ho commandment entolē, just as kathōs you have heard akouō from apo the beginning archē, that hina you should walk peripateō in en it autos.

⁷ For hoti many polys deceivers planos have gone out exerchomai into eis the ho world kosmos, people who ho do not mē confess homologeō that Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos has come erchomai in en the flesh sarx. Any such person houtos is eimi the ho deceiver planos and kai the ho Antichrist antichristos! ⁸ Be on your heautou guard blepō, so that hina we may not mē lose apollymi the things hos we worked for ergazomai but alla may receive apolambanō a full plērēs reward misthos. ⁹ Everyone pas who ho goes on ahead proagō and kai does not mē continue menō in en the ho teaching didachē of ho Christ Christos, does echō not ou have echō God theos. Whoever ho continues menō in en the ho teaching didachē has echō both kai the ho Father patēr and kai the ho Son hyios. ¹⁰ If ei someone tis comes erchomai to pros you hymeis and kai does pherō not ou bring pherō this houtos · ho teaching didachē, do not mē receive lambanō him autos into eis your house oikia or kai give legō him autos any mē greeting chairō, ¹¹ for gar the ho one who gives legō him autos a greeting chairō becomes a partner koinōneō in ho his autos evil ponēros deeds ergon. · ho

¹² Although I have echō many polys other things to write graphō to you hymeis, I do not ou want boulomai to use dia paper chartēs and kai ink melas; instead alla, I hope elpizō to be ginomai with pros you hymeis and kai speak laleō face stoma to pros face stoma, so that hina · ho our hēmeis joy chara may be eimi complete plēroō.

¹³ The ho children teknon of ho your sy elect eklektos sister adelphē · ho send aspazomai you sy greetings aspazomai.

¹ From the ho elder presbyteros, to Gaius Gaios my ho dear brother agapētos, whom hos I egō love agapaō in en truth alētheia.

² Dear friend agapētos, I pray euchomai that in peri every way pas you sy may prosper euodoō and kai be in good health hygiainō, just as kathōs your sy soul psychē is prospering euodoō. · ho ³ For gar I rejoiced chairō greatly lian when the brothers adelphos came erchomai and kai testified martyreō to your sy fidelity to the ho truth alētheia, as kathōs indeed you sy do walk peripateō in en the truth alētheia. ⁴ I have echō no ou greater joy chara than this houtos: to hina hear akouō that · ho my emos children teknon are walking peripateō in en the ho truth alētheia.

⁵ Dear brother agapētos, you are poieō faithful pistos in what hos you are doing ergazomai for eis the ho brothers adelphos, even though kai they houtos are strangers xenos. ⁶ They hos have testified martyreō to your sy · ho love agapē before enōpion the church ekklēsia. You will do poieō well kalōs to help them hos on their way propempō in a manner worthy axiōs of ho God theos, ⁷ because gar they set out exerchomai for the sake hyper of the ho Name onoma, accepting lambanō nothing mēdeis from apo · ho nonbelievers ethnikos. ⁸ Therefore oun we hēmeis ought opheilō to show hospitality hypolambanō to ho such men toioutos, so that hina we may be ginomai coworkers synergos for the ho truth alētheia.

⁹ I sent graphō a tis letter to the ho church ekklēsia, but alla Diotrephes Diotrephēs, who ho likes to be in charge philoprōteuō, does not ou acknowledge epidechomai our hēmeis authority . ¹⁰ For dia this reason houtos, should ean I come erchomai, I will bring up hypomimnēskō the ho things ergon he is doing poieō, disparaging phlyareō us hēmeis with malicious ponēros talk logos. And kai not mē satisfied arkeō with epi that houtos, he autos refuses oute to welcome epidechomai the ho brothers adelphos. He kōlyō even kai prevents kōlyō those ho who would like to boulomai and kai puts ekballō them out of ek the ho church ekklēsia.

¹¹ Dear friend agapētos, do not mē imitate mimeomai what ho is evil kakos but alla what ho is good agathos. The ho one who does good agathopoieō is eimi of ek · ho God theos; the ho one who does evil kakopoieō has not ou seen horaō · ho God theos. ¹² Everyone pas has testified martyreō favorably regarding Demetrius Dēmētrios, and kai so has the ho truth alētheia itself autos. And de we hēmeis testify martyreō for him as well kai, and kai you know oida that hoti · ho our hēmeis testimony martyria is eimi true alēthēs.

¹³ I have echō many things polys to write graphō to you sy, but alla I do not ou wish thelō to write graphō with dia ink melas and kai pen kalamos. ¹⁴ But de I hope elpizō to see you sy in the near future eutheōs, and kai we will speak laleō face stoma to pros face stoma. ¹⁵ Peace eirēnē to you sy. The ho friends philos here send you sy greetings aspazomai. Greet aspazomai the ho friends philos there by kata name onoma.

¹ Jude Ioudas, a servant of Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos and de brother adelphos of James Iakōbos, to those ho who are called klētos, who are loved agapaō in en God theos the Father patēr and kai kept tēreō for Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos: ² May mercy eleos, peace eirēnē, and kai love agapē be yours hymeis · kai in ever increasing measure plēthunō.

³ Dear friends agapētos, although I was poieō eager pas spoudē to write graphō to you hymeis about peri · ho our hēmeis common koinos salvation sōtēria, nevertheless I find echō it necessary anankē to write graphō and encourage parakaleō you hymeis to carry on the struggle epagōnizomai for the ho faith pistis that was once for all hapax delivered paradidōmi to the ho saints hagios. ⁴ For gar certain tis men anthrōpos have stolen in unawares—men who ho long ago palai were designated prographō for eis this houtos · ho condemnation krima— ungodly men asebēs who turn metatithēmi the ho grace charis of ho our hēmeis God theos into an excuse for eis blatant immorality aselgeia, and kai · ho deny arneomai our hēmeis only monos Master despotēs and kai Lord kyrios, Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos.

⁵ Now de I want boulomai to remind hypomimnēskō you hymeis, though you hymeis once hapax knew oida all this pas, that hoti the ho Lord Iēsous, having saved sōzō his people laos out of ek Egypt Aigyptos, · ho afterward deuteros destroyed apollymi those ho who did not mē believe pisteuō. ⁶ And te the angels angelos who ho did not mē stay tēreō within · ho their own heautou domain archē but alla abandoned apoleipō their ho proper idios dwelling oikētērion, he has kept tēreō in desmos eternal aidios chains desmos in hypo utter darkness zophos for eis the judgment krisis of the great megas day hēmera. ⁷ Likewise hōs, Sodom Sodoma and kai Gomorrah Gomorra and kai the ho neighboring peri autos towns polis, which indulged ekporneuō in sexual immorality houtos in the ho same homoios way tropos as the angels and kai pursued aperchomai opisō unnatural heteros desire sarx, are exhibited prokeimai as an example deigma by undergoing hypechō the punishment dikē of eternal aiōnios fire pyr.

⁸ Yet mentoi in the same way homoiōs these people houtos also kai, relying on their dreams enypniazomai, defile miainō the flesh sarx, reject atheteō authority kyriotēs, · de and de blaspheme blasphēmeō the glorious ones doxa. ⁹ · ho But de when hote Michael Michaēl the ho archangel archangelos, in debate diakrinō with the ho devil diabolos, was arguing dialegomai about peri the ho body sōma of Moses Mōysēs, he did not ou presume tolmaō to condemn krisis him for blasphemy blasphēmia, but alla said legō, “The Lord kyrios rebuke epitimaō you sy!” ¹⁰ But de these houtos people blaspheme blasphēmeō whatever hosos they do not ou understand oida, and de what hosos they do understand epistamai by instinct physikōs as hōs · ho irrational alogos beasts zōon, by en these houtos they are being destroyed phtheirō. ¹¹ Woe ouai to them autos! For hoti they take poreuō the ho way hodos of ho Cain Kain, and kai abandon themselves ekchunnomai to the ho error planē of ho Balaam Balaam for the sake of gain misthos, and kai perish apollymi in the ho rebellion antilogia of ho Korah Kore. ¹² These houtos people are eimi · ho blemishes spilas on en · ho your hymeis love-feasts agapē, feasting with syneuōcheomai you without reverence aphobōs, caring poimainō only for poimainō themselves heautou. They are waterless anydros clouds nephelē, swept along parapherō by hypo winds anemos; autumn phthinopōrinos trees dendron without fruit akarpos and uprooted ekrizoō— completely dis dead apothnēskō; ¹³ wild agrios waves kyma of the sea thalassa, casting up epaphrizō · ho their heautou shameful deeds aischunē like foam ; wandering planētēs stars astēr for whom hos the ho gloom zophos of ho utter darkness skotos has been reserved tēreō for eis eternity aiōn.

¹⁴ · de It was also kai about these houtos that Enoch Henōch, the seventh hebdomos in descent from apo Adam Adam, prophesied prophēteuō, saying legō, “ Behold idou, the Lord kyrios comes erchomai with en ten thousands myrias of his autos holy ones hagios ¹⁵ to execute poieō judgment krisis on kata all pas and kai to convict elenchō all pas the ungodly psychē of peri all pas · ho their autos ungodly asebeia acts ergon that hos they have committed in their ungodliness asebeō, and kai of peri all pas the ho harsh things sklēros that hos ungodly asebēs sinners hamartōlos have spoken laleō against kata him autos.” ¹⁶ These houtos people are eimi grumblers gongystēs, malcontents mempsimoiros who follow poreuō · ho their heautou sinful desires epithumia; · kai · ho their autos speech stoma is laleō arrogant hyperonkos, they flatter thaumazō others prosōpon to charin gain advantage ōpheleia.

¹⁷ But de you hymeis, dear friends agapētos, must remember mimnēskomai the ho predictions rhēma · ho foretold by hypo the ho apostles apostolos of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, ¹⁸ how hoti they said legō to you hymeis, “ In epi the final eschatos · ho age chronos there will be eimi scoffers empaiktēs driven poreuō by kata · ho their heautou own ungodly asebeia desires epithumia.” · ho ¹⁹ These houtos are eimi the ho ones causing division apodiorizō, worldly-minded psychikos, and devoid of mē the Spirit pneuma.

²⁰ But de you hymeis, dear friends agapētos, build epoikodomeō yourselves heautou up in ho your hymeis most holy hagios faith pistis and pray proseuchomai in en the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma. ²¹ Keep tēreō yourselves heautou in en the love agapē of God theos as you wait for prosdechomai the ho mercy eleos of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos to grant eis you eternal aiōnios life zōē. ²² And kai have mercy on eleaō some hos men who are wavering diakrinō; ²³ save sōzō others hos de by snatching harpazō them out of ek the fire pyr; and have mercy on eleaō others hos de with en fear phobos, hating miseō even kai the ho garment chitōn stained spiloō by apo the ho flesh sarx.

²⁴ Now de to the ho one who is able dynamai to keep phylassō you hymeis from stumbling aptaistos, and kai to make you stand histēmi in his autos glorious doxa presence katenōpion · ho without blame and with en great joy agalliasis— ²⁵ to the only monos God theos, our hēmeis Savior sōtēr, through dia Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios, belong glory doxa, majesty megalōsynē, power kratos, and kai authority exousia, before pro all pas · ho time aiōn, · kai now nyn and kai for eis all pas · ho time aiōn. Amen amēn.
