Introduction
St. John praises Gaius for his walking in truth and for his charity,
complains of the bad conduct of Diotrephes and gives a good testimony to Demetrius. Chapter 1
[4] No greater grace: that is nothing that gives me greater joy and satisfaction.
[7] Taking nothing of the Gentiles: These ministers of the gospel are commended by St. John, who took nothing from the Gentiles, lest they should seem to preach in order to get money by it.
[9] Diotrephes, who loveth: This man seemeth to be in power, but not a friend to the faithful; therefore this part of the letter might be an admonition to him from the apostle. |
