Category:Third Epistle of John

---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Third Epistle of John - Is addressed to Caius, or Gaius, but whether to the Christian of that name in Macedonia (Acts 19:29) or in Corinth (Romans 16:23) or in Derbe (Acts 20:4) is uncertain. It was written for the purpose of commending to Gaius some Christians who were strangers in the place where he lived, and who had gone thither for the purpose of preaching the Gospel (3 John 1:7). Regarding the Second Epistle of St. John and Third Epistle of St. John, those Epistles were probably written soon after the First Epistle of St. John, and from Ephesus.
