1. The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
2. Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3. For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
4. Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
5. Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
