"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 71: 3 John" is a personal letter written near the end of the first century. Attributed to John the Evangelist, this brief epistle from "the Elder" addresses a man named Gaius, commending his hospitality toward traveling missionaries. The letter warns against Diotrephes, who refuses to cooperate and excommunicates those who welcome the Elder's messengers. This shortest book of the Bible explores themes of Christian hospitality and church authority through an intimate correspondence addressing real conflicts in the early Christian community.
