- Intro 3 John - Overview In 3 John, truth becomes visible through Christ-centered hospitality, humble authority, trustworthy witness, and peace shared among people known by name.
- 1 3 John 1 - Gaius Walking in the Truth The Elder's greeting to Gaius shows truth as beloved communion, a flourishing soul, witnessed conduct, and the joy of spiritual fatherhood.
- 1 3 John 2 - Receiving Those Who Go Forth for the Name Gaius shows that discerning hospitality for those who serve Christ makes those who receive them fellow workers for the truth.
- 1 3 John 3 - Diotrephes: The Danger of Loving First Place Diotrephes shows how love of first place corrupts speech, hospitality, and communion, while St John turns the beloved toward the deliberate imitation of good.
- 1 3 John 4 - Demetrius: Good Testimony and Peace by Name Demetrius' truthful testimony and the Elder's closing words show how correction should move toward personal communion, peace, and friendship that remembers people by name.
