The elder wrote to his friend Gaius. He prayed that Gaius would be healthy. He was glad that Gaius walked in truth.

Gaius was kind to travelers. He welcomed them and helped them. But a man named Diotrephes wanted to be first. He would not welcome them. The elder said, copy what is good, not what is bad.
