1 The elder. To Gaius the loved one, whom I love in truth:
2 Loved ones, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.
3 For I was overjoyed when some brethren came and testified of the truth in you—how you are walking in truth.
4 I have no greater joy than this—to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5 Loved ones, you are acting faithfully in whatever you do for the brethren and especially for strangers.
6 They have testified to your love before Messiah’s community. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
