Greetings

1 From the elder to his dear friend Gaius, whom he sincerely loves.

2 Dear friend, I pray that all may be well with you and that you may have good health – I know that all is well with your soul. 3 For it was a great joy to me, when some followers of the Lord came and testified to your fidelity to the truth. I know that your own life is guided by the truth. 4 Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to hear from time to time that the lives of my children are guided by the truth.
