Dear friend, it is my prayer that everything is going well with you and that you are well; I know it is well with your soul.

Who have given witness to the church of your love for them: and you will do well to send them on their way well cared for, as is right for servants of God:

Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good: He that doeth well is of God: but he that doeth evil seeth not God.

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