Verses 3–8
3 John 1:3–8
I. John receives a good report of Gaius's faith and charity from the brethren. Gaius’s love for the brethren and hospitality to strangers proves his sincerity in the faith. II. Gaius is commended for his hospitality, a virtue extended to strangers and those of different churches. III. John expresses great joy in hearing of Gaius's walk in truth. This reflects the joy of ministers when they see their followers living out their faith. IV. John advises Gaius to continue supporting the brethren by aiding them on their journeys in a godly manner, reflecting Christian generosity. V. The brethren went forth preaching for God's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. John emphasizes the need for the church to support such ministers, as they help propagate the truth.
