Greetings from the Elder.[a]

To my dear friend Gaius, a person I truly love.

My dear friend, I know that you are doing well spiritually. So I pray that everything else is going well with you and that you are enjoying good health. Some believers came and told me about the truth[b] in your life. They told me that you continue to follow the way of truth. This made me very happy.
