| 1 | The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth. | 2Jn 1:1 |
| 2 | Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. | Jm 5:12 1Pe 4:8 |
| 3 | For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth. | 3Jn 1:4 2Jn 1:4 Php 1:4 1Th 2:19 1Th 2:20 |
| 4 | Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. | Pr 23:24 |
| 5 | Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal; | Mt 24:45 Lk 12:42 Lk 16:10-12 2Co 4:1-3 Col 3:17 1Pe 4:10 1Pe 4:11 |
| 6 | who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God: | 3Jn 1:12 Phm 1:5-7 |
| 7 | because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. | Ac 8:4 Ac 9:16 2Co 4:5 Col 1:24 Rev 2:3 |
| 8 | We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth. | 3Jn 1:10 Mt 10:14 Mt 10:40 Lk 11:7 2Co 7:2 2Co 7:3 |
| 9 | I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. | Mt 20:20-28 Mt 23:4-8 Mk 9:34 Mk 10:35-45 Lk 22:24-27 Ro 12:10 Php 2:3-5 Tit 1:7-16 |
| 10 | Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth [them] out of the church. | 1Co 5:1-5 2Co 10:1-11 2Co 13:2 |
| 11 | Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God. | Ex 23:2 Ps 37:27 Pr 12:11 Isa 1:16 Isa 1:17 Jn 10:27 Jn 12:26 1Co 4:16 1Co 11:1 Eph 5:1 Php 3:17 1Th 1:6 1Th 2:14 2Ti 3:10 Heb 6:12 1Pe 3:13 |
| 12 | Demetrius hath the witness of all [men], and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness: and thou knowest that our witness is true. | Ac 10:22 Ac 22:12 1Th 4:12 1Ti 3:7 |
| 13 | I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write [them] to thee with ink and pen: | 2Jn 1:12 |
| 14 | but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace [be] unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name. | Gn 43:23 Dn 4:1 Ga 5:16 Eph 6:23 1Pe 5:14 |
