1. The Elder: To my dear friend Gaius: I love you in the truth.
2. Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health physically just as you are spiritually.
3. For I was very glad when some brothers came and testified to your faithfulness to the truth — how you are walking in the truth.
4. I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5. Dear friend, you are showing faithfulness by whatever you do for the brothers, especially when they are strangers.
