{"product_id":"2940149089635","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 71: 3 John","description":"THE THIRD EPISTLE OF ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt. John praises Gaius for his walking in truth and for his charity,\u003cbr\u003ecomplains of the bad conduct of Diotrephes and gives a good testimony to\u003cbr\u003eDemetrius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 John Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. The Ancient, to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou\u003cbr\u003emayest proceed prosperously and fare well, as thy soul doth\u003cbr\u003eprosperously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to\u003cbr\u003ethe truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in\u003cbr\u003etruth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo greater grace... that is nothing that gives me greater joy and\u003cbr\u003esatisfaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the\u003cbr\u003ebrethren: and that for strangers,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church.\u003cbr\u003eWhom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy\u003cbr\u003eof God:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the\u003cbr\u003eGentiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking nothing of the Gentiles... These ministers of the gospel are\u003cbr\u003ecommended by St. John, who took nothing from the Gentiles, lest they\u003cbr\u003eshould seem to preach in order to get money by it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. We therefore ought to receive such: that we may be fellow helpers\u003cbr\u003eof the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to\u003cbr\u003ehave the preeminence among them, doth not receive us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiotrephes who loveth... This man seemeth to be in power, but not a\u003cbr\u003efriend to the faithful; therefore this part of the letter might be an\u003cbr\u003eadmonition to him from the apostle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil: but that which is\u003cbr\u003egood. He that doth good is of God: he that doth evil hath not seen God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. To Demetrius, testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself:\u003cbr\u003eyea and we also give testimony. And thou knowest that our testimony is\u003cbr\u003etrue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. I had many things to write unto thee: but I would not by ink and\u003cbr\u003epen write to thee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. But I hope speedily to see thee: and we will speak mouth to mouth.\u003cbr\u003ePeace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name.","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47109117673712,"sku":"2940149089635","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149089635_p0.jpg?v=1763712354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149089635","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
