The Elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:
2
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
3
For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.
4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
5
Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,
6
who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,
