You know me as the chief elder. I am writing this letter to you, my dear friend Gaius, whom I truly love.
2
Dear friend, I ask God that things may go well for you in every way and that you may be physically healthy just as you are healthy in respect to God.
3
I am very happy because some fellow believers have come here and told me that you live in accordance with the true message about Christ. They said that you are behaving in a manner that is consistent with God's truth.
4
I am very happy when I hear that people whom I helped to believe in Christ are living in a way that matches God's truth!
5
Dear friend, you are serving Jesus loyally whenever you do things to help fellow believers, even those whom you do not know.
6
Some of them have reported before the congregation here how you have showed that you love them. You should continue to help such people do their work in a way that honors God.
