3 John 1:5

You are so faithful. "The hospitality you show to the brothers is especially important! This is evidence of your faith!" John trained evangelists (see note on Ephesians 4:11) and sent them out. They would depend upon the local churches for food and lodging. See Introduction to this Letter. Strangers. Gaius did not know many of these brothers personally. They were strangers to him, yet he showed his love for truth by his hospitality to them. [But contrast 2 John 1:10-11.]
