3 John 1:1
Caius was probably that Caius of Corinth whom St. Paul mentions, Romans 16:23. If so, either he was removed from Achaia into Asia, or St. John sent this letter to Corinth.
Greeting to Gaius
1 The Elder, To the beloved Gaius, awhom 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 arejoiced 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 ajoy than to hear that bmy children walk in truth.
Gaius Commended for Generosity
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren1 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,
7 because they went forth for His name’s sake, ataking nothing from the Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to areceive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.
