Revised Version 1885

3 John 1:1-7 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

1. The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.

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

3. For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.

4. Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

5. Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;

6. who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:

7. because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
