1 Od starešine Gaju ljubaznom, kog ja ljubim va istinu. 2 Ljubazni! Molim se Bogu da ti u svemu bude dobro, i da budeš zdrav, kao što je tvojoj duši dobro. 3 Obradovah se vrlo kad dođoše braća i posvedočiše tvoju istinu, kako ti u istini živiš. 4 Nemam veće radosti od ove da čujem moja deca u istini da hode. 5 Ljubazni! Verno radiš što činiš braći i gostima, 6 koji posvedočiše tvoju ljubav pred crkvom; i dobro ćeš učiniti ako ih spremiš kao što treba pred Bogom. 7 Jer imena Njegovog radi iziđoše ne primivši ništa od neznabožaca. 8 Mi smo, dakle, dužni primati takve, da budemo pomagači istini. 9 Ja pisah crkvi; ali Diotref, koji želi da bude najstariji među nama, ne prima nas. 10 Zato, ako dođem, spomenuću njegova dela koja tvori ružeći nas zlim rečima; i nije mu to dosta, nego sam braće ne prima, i zabranjuje onima koji bi hteli da ih primaju, i izgoni ih iz crkve. 11 Ljubazni! Ne ugledaj se na zlo, nego na dobro: koji dobro čini od Boga je, a koji zlo čini ne vide Boga. 12 Dimitriju svedočiše svi, i sama istina; a i mi svedočimo; i znate da je svedočanstvo naše istinito. 13 Mnogo imadoh da pišem; ali neću mastilom i perom da ti pišem; 14 nego se nadam da ću te skoro videti; i iz usta govoriti. 15 Mir ti! Pozdravljaju te prijatelji. Pozdravi prijatelje po imenu. Amin.
