3 John

3 John 1

3 John 1 opens in verse 1 with “The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.”, reaches its middle movement near verse 7 with “Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.”, and closes in verse 14 with “But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee…” Repeated or prominent terms include truth, Beloved, brethren, church, doeth. Together, those details trace this chapter’s own movement from its opening to its conclusion.
