1. The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2. Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.
3. For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.
4. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
5. Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers;
6. and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
7. For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.
