3 Ivanova

Capitolo 1
1 Starješina ljubljenom Gaju koga ljubim u Istini.
2 Ljubljeni! Želim ti u svemu dobro i da budeš zdrav, kao što je dobro tvojoj duši.
3 Veoma se obradovah kada dođoše braća i posvjedočiše za tvoju istinu: kako ti živiš po Istini.
4 Čuti da moja djeca po Istini žive! - nema mi veće radosti od toga.
5 Ljubljeni, pravi si vjernik u svemu što činiš za braću, i to za došljake.
6 Oni posvjedočiše tvoju ljubav pred Crkvom i dobro ćeš učiniti ako ih ispratiš Boga dostojno.
7 Jer poradi Imena iziđoše i ne primaju ništa od pogana.
8 Mi smo dakle dužni takve primati da budemo suradnici Istine.
9 Pisao sam nešto Crkvi: ali Diotref, koji hoće da bude prvi među njima, ne prima nas.
10 Zato ako dođem, spočitnut ću mu djela koja čini naklapajući zlobne riječi o nama. Ni to mu nije dosta, nego ne prima braće, a onima koji bi to htjeli, brani i izgoni ih iz Crkve.
11 Ljubljeni! Ne nasljeduj zlo, nego dobro. Tko dobro čini, od Boga je; tko zlo čini, nije vidio Boga.
12 Za Demetrija svjedoče svi, i sama Istina, a i mi svjedočimo. A znaš da je naše svjedočanstvo istinito.
13 Mnogo bih ti imao pisati, ali neću da ti pišem crnilom i perom.
14 Nadam se da ću te uskoro vidjeti pa ćemo iz usta u usta govoriti.
15 Mir tebi! Pozdravljaju te prijatelji. Pozdravi prijatelje poimence.

3 John

Capitolo 1
1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
7 Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
