Beloved, I earnestly pray, that thou mayst prosper and be in health, as thy soul prospereth.

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

Beloved, thou actest faithfully in whatsoever service thou dost to the brethren, and to strangers too;

who have borne witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well in forwarding, as is worthy of God.

Beloved, do not thou follow that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good is of God: but he, that doth evil, hath not seen God.
