3 JOHANE 1
Tumediso, Gayo o a bokwa
1Nna yo mogolo ke kwalela Gayo yo o rategang, yo ke mo ratang ka nnete.
2Moratwa, ke eletsa gore o tshele sentle mo dilong tsotlhe, o nne yo o itekanetseng mo mmeleng jaaka mowa wa gago o phela pila. 3Gonne ke itumetse thata, jale fa bakaulengwe ba tla, ba supa ka ga boammaaruri jwa gago, jaaka o ntse o tsamaya mo boammaaruring. 4Ga ke na boitumelo jo bo fetang joo jwa go utlwa gore bana ba me ba tsamaya mo boammaaruring.
5Moratwa, o dira tiro nngwe le nngwe ka boikanyo, e o e direlang badumedi-ka-wena ba e leng baeng; 6ba supile fa pele ga phuthego ka ga lorato lwa gago. O tla bo o dira sentle, fa o ba tsamaisa pila ka mokgwa o o tshwanetseng Modimo. 7Gonne ba bolotse ka ntlha ya leina la ga Keresete ba sa tsee sepe mo baheitaneng. 8Ke ka moo re tshwanetseng go tshola ba ba ntseng jalo gore re nne badiredi ba boammaaruri mmogo.

11Moratwa, o se ka wa latela se se bosula, mme o latele se se molemo. Yo o dirang molemo o tswa Modimong; yo o dirang bosula ga a bona Modimo.
12Demeterio o na le tshupo ya batho botlhe le ya boammaaruri ka josi gore o siame, ee, le rona re supa jalo, mme wena o itse gore tshupo ya rona ke boammaaruri.
13Ke na le dilo tse dintsi tse nka di go kwalelang, mme ga ke rate go di go kwalela ka enke le pene. 14Mme ke solofela gore ke tla akofa ke go bona, mme re tla buisanya ka molomo.
15Kagiso a e nne nao!
