The Book 3 John - A Brief Overview
The book of 3 John is addressed to Caius, or Gaius, but whether to the
Christian of that name in Macedonia (Acts 19: 29) or in Corinth (Rom.
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 (ver. 7). The Second and Third Epistles were probably
written soon after the First, and from Ephesus.

The third epistle or the book of 3 John was written for the purpose of
commending to the kindness and hospitality of Caius some Christians who
were strangers in the place where he lived. It is probably that these
Christians carried this letter with them to Caius as their introduction.
