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

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

Dear friend, you act faithfully [in] whatever you do for the brothers, {even though they are strangers}.

This is why, if I come, I will remind him of the works he is doing, slandering us with malicious words. And he is not satisfied with that! He not only refuses to welcome the brothers himself, but he even stops those who want to do so and expels them from the church.

Demetrius has been testified to by all, even by the truth itself. And we also testify [to him], and you know that our testimony is true.
