Read 3 John VERSE: 3 John 1 – The elder, to my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in truth. TRUTH: John, writing here, gives a great definition of friendship. Gaius was a dear friend that John loved in truth. Friendship should always be based on truth and not lies, however, even more special is when the friendship is based on “The Truth,” Jesus Christ.
