¹the Elder to Gaius the beloved (in Moshiach), whom I have in truth love.

²beloved, I do prayer, that in all shall you (SG) prospered be, and be healthy, even, as it goes good your soul.

³because I have me very rejoiced, when brothers have come and have witness said about the truth in you (SG), how you (SG) live in the truth.

⁴any greater joy have I not, than to hear, that my children live in the truth.

⁵beloved, you (SG) deal faithfully in that, which you (SG) do for the brothers and for the visitors/guests,

⁶who have witness said about your love for the kehile; you (SG) will do good, if you (SG) will them farther send as it is worthy before Hashem;

⁷because for His Name about are they gone out, not receiving any thing from the nations (of the world).

⁸we are therefore obligated to receive such, so that we should be co-workers in the truth.

⁹I have something written to the kehile; but Diotrephes, who does love to be with them a head person, accepts us not on.

¹⁰therefore, when I will come, will I him remind the deeds, which he does, gossiping about us with evil words; and not content with that, receives he himself not on the brothers, and bans from shul those, who want (it to do), and drives them out from the kehile.

¹¹beloved, do not (copy) after the bad, but the good. who it does good, that (one) is from Hashem; who it does evil, that (one) has not seen Hashem.

¹²about Demetrius did everyone (good) witness said, even the truth itself; and also we say witness; and you (SG) know, that our witness say is true/authentic.

¹³I have had a many to write to you (SG); but I want it you (SG) not write with ink and quill/pen;

¹⁴I hope however you to see in a short time, and (then) will we speak face to face.

¹⁵peace to you (SG). (our) friends give you (SG) up peace. give up peace the friends all by name.
