1 The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
         
                                
                        2 Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
         
                                
                        3 For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth.
         
                                
                        4 Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
         
                                
                        5 Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;
         
                                
                        6 who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:
         
                                
                        7 because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
