‏ 3 John 3

The Character of Gaius.

In this part of the letter, John praises Gaius for his faithful Christian life and kindness to others. The good reputation of Gaius is known among other believers, and John is joyful to hear such reports. Gaius is a model for showing love and support to Christian brothers and strangers, especially those working for the gospel.

v. 3: John says, The brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee (3 John 1:3 a). Gaius is known for his sincere faith and his genuine love for others. His kindness, hospitality, and help to fellow believers and Christian strangers show that his faith is real and active.
