1. The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2. Beloved, I wish that thou be prospered in all things and be sound, even as thy soul prospers.
3. For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou dost walk in the truth.
4. I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my sons walk in the truth.
5. Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatever thou doest regarding the brethren and with the strangers,
