- 1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
- 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
- 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest[1] in the truth.
- 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
- 5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
- What they weredoing was providing a Daily ministration in faith, through charity, offering hope... with out dependence on Benefactors who exercised authority one over the other. They practice Pure Religion.
- 6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
- This "charity before the church" was a real Daily ministration without the Covetous Practices of the World.
- 7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
- None of those gifts gratuities and benefits Plutarch spoke of but only the Charity of Christ and John the Baptist.
- 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
- They were a true Network of believers organized by choice, not like Modern Christians.
- 9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
- "Diotrephes is believed by most to be a man mentioned in the Third Epistle of John (verses 9–11). Diotrephes is a word that means "nourished by Jupiter" or "nourished of Jove". Raymond E. Brown comments, "Diotrephes is not a particularly common name." Was it a name or a proper noun invented by John to describe a certain type of people like the Nicolaitains those who continued to take some benefits from the Temple of Jupiter making their Pure Religion "spoted"[2] by one of the Temples of the World. Understanding that at the Temple of Jupiter the Tribunes not only conducted their legislative assemblies but it housed important records, books and the social welfare funds including the treasury of the city within the chambers and vaults of the temples.
- 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
- 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
- 12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
- 13 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
- 14 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
