1. The elder. To Gaius the loved one, whom I love in truth:
2. Loved ones, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.
3. For I was overjoyed when some brethren came and testified of the truth in you—how you are walking in truth.
4. I have no greater joy than this—to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5. Loved ones, you are acting faithfully in whatever you do for the brethren and especially for strangers.
6. They have testified to your love before Messiah’s community. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
