1I, a ruler in the church, send word to the well loved Gaius, for whom I have true love.
2My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.
3For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way.
4I have no greater joy than to have news that my children are walking in the true way.
5My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;
6Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:
7For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
