1  THE ELDER, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth

2  Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to prosper and to be healthy, just as your soul prospers.

2  Most beloved, concerning everything, I make it my prayer that you may benefit by advancing and succeeding in whatever may be to the benefit of your soul.

2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
