beloved, concerning all things I desire thee to prosper, and to be in health, even as thy soul doth prosper,

for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk;

Many things I had to write, but I do not wish through ink and pen to write to thee,

and I hope straightway to see thee, and mouth to mouth we shall speak. Peace to thee! salute thee do the friends; be saluting the friends by name.
