In this warm commendation, the apostle John praises Gaius for his ongoing hospitality and support. The verse — ἀγαπητέ, πιστὸν ποιεῖς ὃ ἐὰν ἐργάσῃ εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ εἰς τοὺς ξένους — reveals a refined use of participial address, conditional relative clauses, and dative prepositional phrases. The grammar tightly connects faith with deed, and reminds readers that even unseen labors toward strangers reflect the truth of Christian love.
