I, a ruler in the church, send word to the well loved Gaius, for whom I have true love.

who testified about thy love in sight of the congregation, whom thou will do well having helped send on their way worthily of God.

I sent a letter to the church, but Diotrephes, whose desire is ever to have the first place among them, will not have us there.

I am hoping soon to see you, and then we shall talk face to face. Peace be to you! The friends send their salutation. Salute the friends by name.

Peace be to you. The friends [here] greet you. Greet the friends [personally] by name.
