Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.

who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:

I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.

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.
