1. Greetings from the Elder. To my dear friend Gaius, a person I truly love.
2. My dear friend, I know that you are doing well spiritually. So I pray that everything else is going well with you and that you are enjoying good health.
3. Some believers came and told me about the truth in your life. They told me that you continue to follow the way of truth. This made me very happy.
4. It always gives me the greatest joy when I hear that my children are following the way of truth.
5. My dear friend, it is good that you continue to help the believers. They are people you don’t even know.
6. They told the church about the love you have. Please help them to continue their trip. Help them in a way that will please God.
7. They went on their trip to serve Christ. They did not accept any help from people who are not believers.
