3 John 1:1-4

1This letter comes from me, the leader of the believers. I am writing to you, my friend Gaius. I love you because we believe God's true message.

2My friend, I pray that God will help you to live well. I know that you are well in your spirit. I pray that your body will also be well.

3I was very happy when I heard news about you. Some Christian friends came here to tell me about you. They said that you are living in a good way. That is the way that God's true message tells us to live.

4I am happy when I hear that my children are living like that. When they obey God's true message, it makes me very happy.
