‘Gaius my host, and of the whole church, salutes you.'

This Gaius is probably the Gaius of Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:14). He was clearly giving hospitality to Paul, and his description as ‘host of the whole church' may suggest that he had prime responsibility among Christians in Corinth for acting as host to visitors. (He would have had to have had a huge house indeed in order to be able to act as host to the whole church).
