1 The PRESBYTER to my dear Gaius, whom I truly love.
2 I wish, my beloved, you may be as prosperous with regard to your health and other circumstances, as in what concerns your soul.
3 For I was greatly pleased when the brethren came and assured me of your fidelity and religious conduct.
4 greater joy I cannot have, than to hear that my children are attach'd to the truth.
5 My dear child, whatever you do in behalf of the brethren, and of those who are strangers, is commendable.
6 they have made a publick declaration of your charity, and you will do well to accompany them in the most effectual manner.
