1 The elder, to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in the truth.
2 Dear friend, I pray you may prosper concerning everything and be healthy, just as your soul prospers.
3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are walking in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than this: that I hear my children are walking in the truth.
5 Dear friend, you act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, even though they are strangers.
