3 John
Maori Bible
1 Na te kaumatua ki a Kaiu, ki te hoa aroha, ki taku e aroha atu nei i runga i te pono.
2 E te hoa aroha, nui atu i nga mea katoa taku inoi kia kake koe ki te pai, kia ora, kia pera ano me tou wairua kua kake ki te pai.
3 Hari pu hoki ahau i nga teina i haere mai nei, i whakaatu mai i te pono i roto i a koe, ara i tau haere i runga i te pono.
4 Kahore oku hari e nui atu ana i tenei, ara kia rongo ahau e haere ana aku tamariki i runga i te pono.
5 E te hoa aroha, pono tonu tau mahi e mea na koe mo nga teina, mo nga tangata iwi ke ano hoki;
6 E whakaatu na i tou aroha i te aroaro o te hahi: na kia rite ki ta te Atua tau kawe i a ratou, a ka pai tau mahi:
7 He whakaaro hoki ki tona ingoa i haere atu ai ratou, kihai ano i riro i a ratou tetahi mea a nga Tauiwi.
8 Koia i tika ai kia whakamanuhiri tatou i nga tangata penei, kia ai hoki tatou hei hoa mahi mo te pono.
9 I tuhituhi atu ahau ki te hahi: otira kahore matou e manakohia mai e Rioterepi, ko tana hoki e pai ai ko ia kia meinga hei tuatahi mo ratou.
10 Mo konei ki te haere atu ahau, ka whakamahara ahau i ana mahi e mea nei ia, ki te kino o ana kupu i a ia e komeme mai nei mo matou; kahore hoki tana i mutu i konei, kahore ia e manako ki nga teina, e riria ana hoki e ia nga tangata e pai ana kia pera, e peia ana i roto i te hahi.
11 E te hoa aroha, kaua e arumia te kino, engari te pai. Ko te tangata e mahi pai ana, no te Atua ia: tena ko te kaimahi i te kino, kahore ano ia kia kite i te Atua.
12 E korerotia paitia ana a Rimitiriu e te katoa, e te pono ano hoki: ae ra ko matou ano etahi hei kaiwhakaatu; e mohio ana koutou he pono ta matou whakaatu.
13 He maha nga mea hei tuhituhinga atu maku, otira e kore ahau e pai kia tuhituhi atu ki a koe ki te mangumangu, ki te pene:
14 E mea ana hoki ahau tera ahau e kite wawe i a koe, a e korero taua, he mangai, he mangai. Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koe. Tenei nga hoa aroha te oha atu nei ki a koe. Oha atu ki nga hoa aroha me te whakahua ano i te ingoa o tera, o tera.

New International Version
1 The elder,(A)
To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3 It gave me great joy when some believers(B) came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.(C) 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children(D) are walking in the truth.(E)
5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters,[a](F) even though they are strangers to you.(G) 6 They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way(H) in a manner that honors(I) God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name(J) that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.(K) 8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. 10 So when I come,(L) I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers.(M) He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.(N)
11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.(O) Anyone who does what is good is from God.(P) Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.(Q) 12 Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone(R)—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.(S)
13 I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face.(T)
15 Peace to you.(U) The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.(V)
