1. The Elder, to Gaius, most beloved, whom I love in the truth.
2. Most beloved, concerning everything, I make it my prayer that you may benefit by advancing and succeeding in whatever may be to the benefit of your soul.
3. I was very glad when the brothers arrived, and when they offered testimony to the truth in you, that you are walking in the truth.
4. I have no greater grace than this, when I hear that my sons are walking in the truth.
5. Most beloved, you should act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, and those who are sojourners;
