Is John talking about the right doctrine or right living when he emphasises "truth" in 3 John?
I.e. is he focusing on right doctrine, right living, or on something else?
3 John 1:1 - 15
ESV - 1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. 2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

Dear Anonymous, I believe that the Apostle John is talking about the Person who is Truth, Jesus Christ! Whether it's doctrine, living, or right believing, everything points to Jesus. Jesus told His disciples in John 14:6, "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
