The health wish of 3 John 1:2 is typical of Hellenistic letters (Compare 2 Maccabees 1:10; 3 Maccabees 3:12; 3 Maccabees 7:1 ). The basic Greek concept of health is what is balanced. Thus the Greeks frequently used the adjective “healthy” (hygies) to mean rational or intelligible. The adjective is frequently translated sound in the New Testament (1 Timothy 1:10; 1 Timothy 6:3; 2 Timothy 1:13; 2 Timothy 4:3; Titus 1:9; Titus 2:1 ,Titus 2:1,2:8 ). See Diseases; Healing, Divine .
