This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gaius my host (Gaios ho xenos mou). Perhaps the same Gaius of 1Co 1:14 (Act 19:29; Act 20:4), but whether the one of 3Jo 1:1 we do not know. Xenos was a guest friend, and then either a stranger (Mat 25:35) or a host of strangers as here. This Gaius was plainly a man of some means as he was the host of all the church. Erastus (2Ti 4:20) was “the treasurer of the city” (ho oikonomos tēs poleōs), one of the outstanding men of Corinth, the “steward” (house-manager) or city manager. See note on Luk 12:42 and note on Luk 16:1. He is probably the administrator of the city’s property.
Quartus (Kouartos). Latin name for fourth.
