John the elder/pastor prays for brother Gaius, a very compassionate, faithful, reliable, genuine Saint in the church that was suffering with poor health and that while sick some had illegally, deceitfully, and intentionally taken his possessions. The wisdom of this prayer is for us to follow the doctrine of Jesus Christ, no matter what and God will be with us. Our God is the restorer and repairer of all breaches, and restitution is one of his great qualities.
