1. The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2. Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
3. I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4. I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
