On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Happy are those whose spirit and conduct commend them before God and men. Confirmed by the apostle's and his friends' testimony: Yea, and we also bear record; and that with an appeal to Gaius's own knowledge: And you (you and your friends) know that our record is true. Probably this Demetrius was known to the church where the apostle now resided, and to that where Gaius was.
