3 John

The writer expresses his love and appreciation for Gaius, who is walking in the truth, and commends him for his charity and hospitality towards traveling brothers. However, he also mentions Diotrephes, who refuses to accept the writer and hinders others from receiving the brothers, and warns against imitating evil. The writer then offers a good testimony for Demetrius and expresses his hope to see Gaius soon to speak face to face.
