[1:1] The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
[1:2] Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
[1:3] For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth.
[1:4] I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
