1. The ancient to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2. Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.
3. I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4. I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
5. Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
6. Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church: whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God.
