Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. The elder to beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2. Beloved, I pray that you prosper in every way and be healthy, just as your soul prospers.
3. For I greatly rejoiced when brothers came and bore witness to your truth, just as you walk in truth.
4. I have no greater joy than these, to hear my children walking in truth.
5. Beloved, whatever you do for the brothers and these strangers, you do it faithfully.
6. They testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way worthily of God.
7. For they went out on behalf of the name, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.
8. We therefore ought to welcome such people, so that we become fellow workers for the truth.
9. I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not welcome us.
10. For this reason, if I come, I will remind of his deeds that he does by slandering us with evil words; not content with these things, neither does he himself receive the brothers, nor does he allow those who wish to, but he throws them out from the church.
11. Beloved, do not imitate evil, but good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.
12. All have borne witness to Demetrius, and the truth itself has too; we bear witness as well, and you know that our testimony is true.
13. I had many things to write to you, but I do not wish to write to you with ink and pen.
14. But I hope to see you soon, and we will speak face to face. Peace to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
