| 1 1 | THE ELDER to dear Gaius, whom I love in truth. | Salutation 3Jn.1.1-4 | Ὁ πρεσβύτερος Γαΐῳ τῷ ἀγαπητῷ, ὃν ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ. |
| 2 | My dear Gaius, I pray that you may enjoy good health, and that all may go well with you, as I know it goes well with your soul. | Ἀγαπητέ, περὶ πάντων εὐχομαί σε εὐοδοῦσθαι καὶ ὑγιαίνειν, καθὼς εὐοδοῦταί σου ἡ ψυχή. | |
| 3 | I was delighted when friends came and told me how true you have been; indeed you are true in your whole life. | ἐχάρην γὰρ λίαν ἐρχομένων ἀδελφῶν καὶ μαρτυρούντων σου τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, καθὼς σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς. | |
| 4 | Nothing gives me greater joy than to hear that my children are living by the truth. | μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἐχω χαράν, ἵνα ἀκούω τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα. | |
