Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.
- A 1 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
- B 2-4 Prosperity wish and testimony about walking in truth; the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee
- C 5-8 Faithful reception of brethren and strangers; We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
- C' 9-10 Diotrephes refuses reception; receiveth us not and neither doth he himself receive the brethren
- B' 11-12 Demetrius has good report of all men, and of the truth itself
- A' 13-14 Personal closing; repeated address thee and Peace be to thee
