FBV Free Bible Version (Versión Biblia Libre en inglés) WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos) 1 This letter comes from the elder to Gaius, my dear friend, whom I love in the truth. 1 EL anciano al muy amado Gaio, al cual yo amo en verdad.
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
2 My friend, I pray most of all that you're doing well and are in good physical health, for I know you're doing well spiritually. 2 Amado, yo deseo que tú seas prosperado en todas cosas, y que tengas salud, así como tu alma está en prosperidad.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
3 I was delighted when some fellow-believers arrived and told me about your commitment to the truth, and how you continue living in the truth. 3 Ciertamente me gocé mucho cuando vinieron los hermanos y dieron testimonio de tu verdad, así como tú andas en la verdad.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
4 Nothing makes me happier than to hear how my dear friends are following the truth. 4 No tengo yo mayor gozo que éste, el oir que mis hijos andan en la verdad.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
5 My friend, you show you are trustworthy in what you're doing by looking after the brothers, even those you don't know. 5 Amado, fielmente haces todo lo que haces para con los hermanos, y con los extranjeros,
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
6 They have spoken well about your love in front of the church. Please be so kind as to send them on their journey in a way that God would appreciate, 6 Los cuales han dado testimonio de tu amor en presencia de la iglesia: á los cuales si ayudares como conviene según Dios, harás bien.
6 They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
7 for they are traveling in his name, not accepting anything from non-believers. 7 Porque ellos partieron por amor de su nombre, no tomando nada de los Gentiles.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
8 We ought to support them so we can share together in the truth. 8 Nosotros, pues, debemos recibir á los tales, para que seamos cooperadores á la verdad.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
9 I did write about this to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves being in charge, refuses to accept our authority. 9 Yo he escrito á la iglesia: mas Diótrefes, que ama tener el primado entre ellos, no nos recibe.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
10 So if I do visit, I will make it clear what he's been doing. He's been making malicious accusations against us. Not satisfied with doing that, he refuses to welcome any other brothers. He won't let anyone else welcome them either, and throws those who do so out of the church. 10 Por esta causa, si yo viniere, recordaré las obras que hace parlando con palabras maliciosas contra nosotros; y no contento con estas cosas, no recibe á los hermanos, y prohibe á los que los quieren [recibir], y los echa de la iglesia.
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
11 My friend, don't imitate what is evil, but what is good. Those who do what's good belong to God; those who do evil don't know God. 11 Amado, no sigas lo que es malo, sino lo que es bueno. El que hace bien es de Dios: mas el que hace mal, no ha visto á Dios.
11 Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
12 Everyone speaks well of Demetrius—and the truth does so too! We also speak well of him, and you know we tell the truth. 12 Todos dan testimonio de Demetrio, y [aun] la misma verdad: y también nosotros damos testimonio; y vosotros habéis conocido que nuestro testimonio es verdadero.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
13 I have so much to say to you, but I don't want to do it in writing with pen and ink. 13 Yo tenía muchas cosas que escribirte; empero no quiero escribirte por tinta y pluma:
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
14 I hope to see you soon so we can talk face to face. 14 Porque espero verte en breve, y hablaremos boca á boca. Paz [sea] contigo. Los amigos te saludan. Saluda tú á los amigos por nombre.
14 but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
15 May peace be with you! The friends here send their greetings to you. Please personally greet our friends there by name. 15 No está en esta traducción
