"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 3 John" by Richard Francis Weymouth, presents a fresh, understandable version of a biblical letter from the New Testament. Focused on making the apostle John's message clear for today's readers, the writing explores themes of true friendship, honesty, and the vital role of welcoming others in the Christian faith. The story centers on John's message to Gaius, a friend, whom he praises for his dedication to the truth and his kindness. The author urges Gaius to keep helping traveling preachers of Christianity and sheds light on Diotrephes, a troublemaker who opposes John's teachings and makes it hard for other Christians. As a contrast, Demetrius is presented as a role model of good behavior. The text ends with plans for a visit and warm greetings, which stress how important people and community are to the faith.
