The Ancient, to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. 2Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously and fare well, as thy soul doth prosperously. 3I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.
