約參3（UCV）有弟兄來證明你心裏存的真理，正如你按真理而行，我就甚喜樂。

約參3（NCV）有些弟兄來到，證實你心中存有真理，就是你按真理行事，我就非常欣慰。

約參3（CLV）最近，路過這裡的朋友為你的行為作證，說你真誠純潔，按真理的標準生活，這真使我老懷歡暢。

約參5（NCV）【稱讚該猶接待弟兄】親愛的，你向弟兄所行的，特別是向外地來的弟兄所行的，都是出於忠心。

約參5（CLV）親愛的，雖然你跟這些過路的傳道人素未謀面，還是熱情地款待他們，這事顯明了你是忠心的人。

3_John 5（KJV）Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you.

3_John 5（NIV）Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you.

約參6（UCV）他們在教會面前證明了你的愛。你若配得過　神，幫助他們往前行，這就好了，

約參6（NCV）他們在教會面前證明了你的愛；你照著　神所喜悅的，資助他們的旅程，這樣是好的。

約參6（CLV）他們正把你的情誼和愛心告訴這裡的教會。你既對得起上帝，幫助他們，又給他們送行，就最好不過了；

3_John 6（KJV）They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

3_John 6（NIV）They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

約參7（UCV）因他們是為主的名〔原文作『那名』〕出外，對於外邦人一無所取。

約參7（NCV）因為他們為主的名出外，並沒有從教外人接受甚麼。

約參7（CLV）因為他們是純綷為了主耶穌的名四處傳道的人，從沒有向未信主的人索取甚麼。

3_John 7（KJV）It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.

3_John 8（NIV）We ought therefore to show hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth.

約參9（UCV）我曾略略的寫信給教會，但那在教會中好為首的丟特腓不接待我們。

約參9（NCV）【不要效法惡，應該效法善】我曾經略略寫信給你那裏的教會，但他們中間那好作首領的丟特腓不接待我們。

約參9（CLV）我曾經寫過一封簡短的信給你那裡的教會，但那個在教會中好為首的丟特腓不接待我們差去的人。

3_John 9（KJV）I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us.

3_John 9（NIV）I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us.

約參10（UCV）所以我若去，必要提說他所行的事，就是他用惡言妄論我們。還不以此為足，他自己不接待弟兄，有人願意接待，他也禁止，並且將接待弟兄的人趕出教會。

約參10（NCV）因此，我來的時候，必要提起他所作的事，就是他用惡言中傷我們；這還不夠，他不但不接待弟兄，還要阻止那些想要接待的人，甚至把他們趕出教會。

約參10（CLV）等我們見面時，我就要向你們詳述他怎樣用惡言來中傷我們；然而，他不單自己不接待那些過路的弟兄，見有人接待他們，他就從旁禁止，甚至用法子將那些接待人的趕出教會。

3_John 10（KJV）So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

3_John 10（NIV）So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

約參11（UCV）【行善的屬於　神】親愛的兄弟啊！不要效法惡，只要效法善。行善的屬乎　神，行惡的未曾見過　神。

約參11（NCV）親愛的，不要效法惡，應該效法善。行善的屬於　神，行惡的沒有見過　神。

約參11（CLV）親愛的，千萬不要效法惡事，只要學習行善。要知道行善的人，才是真正屬於上帝的，而行惡的人，根本不認識上帝。

3_John 11（KJV）Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

3_John 11（NIV）Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

約參12（UCV）低米丟行善，有眾人給他作見證，又有真理給他作見證，就是我們也給他作見證。你也知道我們的見證是真的。

約參12（NCV）低米丟行善，有眾人給他作證，真理本身也為他作證。我們也為他作證，你知道我們的見證是真的。

約參12（CLV）底米丟的好表現不但有口皆碑，真理也為他作證，而我們也要給他作證。你們該知道我們的見證是真實的。結語

約參13（UCV）我原有許多事要寫給你，卻不願意用筆墨寫給你，

約參13（NCV）【問候的話】我還有許多話要寫給你，可是我不願借用筆墨。

3_John 13（KJV）I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink.

約參14（NCV）我盼望很快就見到你，當面談談。

約參14（CLV）只希望可以快快地見到你，跟你談個暢快。
