no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."

- The Third Epistle of JOHN
- The Book of 3 John was written by the Apostle
John who calls himself 'the elder'. It is closely related to
the books of 1 and 2 John (see introductions to these books)
in that they deal with similar subjects and were all written
about the same time (ca. A.D. 86 -9O).
-
- John addressed this letter to Gaius who was a
leader in the congregation of a church that John had most likely
helped to establish. The purpose of this epistle was to encourage
Gains to continue to help those who were spreading the gospel
and teaching the truth (3 John 1:5 - ).
-
- John also wanted to express his displeasure about
the offensive behavior of Diotrephes who refused to accept John
and was mistreating other believers (3 John 1:9). Furthermore,
he revealed his intention to visit the church there himself and
reprove this proud, selfish, and indifferent man (3 John 1:10). [Source
