^23 (A)Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. ^(B)Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.

¹⁴ I thank God that I baptized ^(A)none of you except ^(B)Crispus and ^(C)Gaius,

²² So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, ^(A)Timothy and ^(B)Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.

Greeting to Gaius

¹ The Elder,

To the beloved Gaius, ^(A)whom I love in truth:

² Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. ³ For I ^(B)rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. ⁴ I have no greater ^(C)joy than to hear that ^(D)my children walk in ^[a]truth.

Gaius Commended for Generosity

⁵ Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren ^[b]and for strangers, ⁶ who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,

^20 (A)Erastus stayed in Corinth, but ^(B)Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.

⁴ And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia—also ^(A)Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and ^(B)Gaius of Derbe, and ^(C)Timothy, and ^(D)Tychicus and ^(E)Trophimus of Asia.

²⁹ So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized ^(A)Gaius and ^(B)Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s travel companions.
