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

I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came, and bore witness to thy truth, even as thou walkest in the truth.

Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever services thou performest for the brethren, and for strangers;

who have borne testimony to thy love before the church; to whom thou wilt perform a good act of service in forwarding them on their journey, in a manner worthy of God.

Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil hath not seen God;

Demetrius hath the witness of all men , and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness: and thou knowest that our witness is true.
