3 John 1

3 John 1:2

That thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

As thy soul is in a good and comfortable condition, so I wish that thy body and estate may be also.

3 John 1:7

Because, that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

Because, for the setting forth of the glory of Christ, and the promulgation of his Gospel, they went forth to preach the word of God among the Gentiles, and took no recompence from them for their labour and charge.

3 John 1:9

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

I wrote unto the Church, for this purpose: but Diotrephes, who affects to bear a sway amongst your people, and is prejudiced against us, is not willing to give way to this just and holy motion.
