Beloved, I desire that in all things thou shouldest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.

For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brethren came and bore testimony to thy holding fast the truth, even as thou walkest in truth.

Beloved, thou doest faithfully in whatever thou mayest have wrought towards the brethren and that strangers,

(who have witnessed of thy love before the assembly,) in setting forward whom on their journey worthily of God, thou wilt do well;

Demetrius has witness borne to him by all, and by the truth itself; and we also bear witness, and thou knowest that our witness is true.
