THE elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

Ὁ πρεσβύτερος Γαΐῳ τῷ ἀγαπητῷ, ὃν ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ.

[Заⷱ҇ 76] Ста́рецъ га́їеви возлю́бленномꙋ, є҆го́же а҆́зъ люблю̀ вои́стиннꙋ.

2

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

Ἀγαπητέ, περὶ πάντων εὔχομαί σε εὐοδοῦσθαι καὶ ὑγιαίνειν, καθὼς εὐοδοῦταί σου ἡ ψυχή.

Возлю́бленне, во всѣ́хъ молю́сѧ (ѡ҆ тебѣ̀) благоспѣ́ѧтисѧ тебѣ̀ и҆ здра́вствовати, ꙗ҆́коже благоспѣ́етсѧ тебѣ̀ дꙋша̀.

3

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

ἐχάρην γὰρ λίαν ἐρχομένων ἀδελφῶν καὶ μαρτυρούντων σου τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, καθὼς σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς.

Возра́довахсѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, прише́дшымъ бра́тїѧмъ и҆ свидѣ́тельствꙋющымъ твою̀ и҆́стинꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже ты̀ во и҆́стинѣ хо́диши.

4

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω χαράν, ἵνα ἀκούω τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα.

Бо́льши сеѧ̀ не и҆́мамъ ра́дости, да слы́шꙋ моѧ̑ ча̑да во и҆́стинѣ ходѧ̑ща.

5

Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;

Ἀγαπητέ, πιστὸν ποιεῖς ὃ ἐὰν ἐργάσῃ εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ εἰς τοὺς ξένους,

Возлю́бленне, вѣ́рнѡ твори́ши, є҆́же а҆́ще дѣ́лаеши въ бра́тїю и҆ въ стра̑нныѧ,

6

Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:

οἳ ἐμαρτύρησάν σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐνώπιον ἐκκλησίας, οὓς καλῶς ποιήσεις προπέμψας ἀξίως τοῦ Θεοῦ.

и҆̀же свидѣ́тельствоваша ѡ҆ твое́й любвѝ пред̾ цр҃ковїю: и҆̀хже предпосла́въ досто́йнѡ бг҃ꙋ, до́брѣ твори́ши,

7

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

ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἐξῆλθον, μηδὲν λαμβάνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνικῶν.

ѡ҆ и҆́мени бо є҆гѡ̀ и҆зыдо́ша, ничто́же прїе́млюще ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ.

8

We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

ἡμεῖς οὖν ὀφείλομεν ἀπολαμβάνειν τοὺς τοιούτους, ἵνα συνεργοὶ γινώμεθα τῇ ἀληθείᾳ.

Мы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо до́лжни є҆смы̀ прїима́ти таковы́хъ, да поспѣ̑шницы бꙋ́демъ и҆́стинѣ.

9

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

Ἔγραψα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· ἀλλ᾿ ὁ φιλοπρωτεύων αὐτῶν Διοτρεφὴς οὐκ ἐπιδέχεται ἡμᾶς.

Писа́хъ цр҃кви: но первенстволю́бецъ и҆́хъ дїотре́фъ не прїе́млетъ на́съ.

10

Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

διὰ τοῦτο, ἐὰν ἔλθω, ὑπομνήσω αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖ, λόγοις πονηροῖς φλυαρῶν ἡμᾶς· καὶ μὴ ἀρκούμενος ἐπὶ τούτοις οὔτε αὐτὸς ἐπιδέχεται τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τοὺς βουλομένους κωλύει καὶ ἐκ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐκβάλλει.

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди, а҆́ще прїидꙋ̀, воспомѧнꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ дѣла̀, ꙗ҆́же твори́тъ, словесы̀ лꙋка́выми ᲂу҆корѧ́ѧ на́съ: и҆ недово́ленъ быва́ѧ ѡ҆ си́хъ, ни са́мъ прїе́млетъ бра́тїю, и҆ хотѧ́щымъ возбранѧ́етъ, и҆ ѿ цр҃кве и҆зго́нитъ.

11

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

Ἀγαπητέ, μὴ μιμοῦ τὸ κακόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἀγαθόν. ὁ ἀγαθοποιῶν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν· ὁ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακε τὸν Θεόν.

Возлю́бленне, не ᲂу҆подоблѧ́йсѧ ѕло́мꙋ, но бл҃го́мꙋ. Благотворѧ́й ѿ бг҃а є҆́сть: а҆ ѕлотворѧ́й не ви́дѣ бг҃а.

12

Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

Δημητρίῳ μεμαρτύρηται ὑπὸ πάντων καὶ ὑπ᾿ αὐτῆς τῆς ἀληθείας· καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ μαρτυροῦμεν, καὶ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ μαρτυρία ἡμῶν ἀληθής ἐστι.

Дими́трїеви свидѣ́тельствовасѧ ѿ всѣ́хъ и҆ ѿ са́мыѧ и҆́стины: и҆ мы́ же свидѣ́тельствꙋемъ, и҆ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ свидѣ́тельство на́ше и҆́стинно є҆́сть.

13

I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:

Πολλὰ εἶχον γράφειν, ἀλλ᾿ οὐ θέλω διὰ μέλανος καὶ καλάμου σοι γράψαι·

Мнѡ́га и҆мѣ́хъ писа́ти, но не хощꙋ̀ черни́ломъ и҆ тро́стїю писа́ти тебѣ̀,

14

But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.

ἐλπίζω δὲ εὐθέως ἰδεῖν σε, καὶ στόμα πρὸς στόμα λαλήσομεν.

ᲂу҆пова́ю же а҆́бїе ви́дѣти тѧ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆сты̑ ко ᲂу҆стѡ́мъ глаго́лати.
