Here "we" refers to John and those with him and does not include Gaius. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])
# Demetrius received a good testimony from everyone
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "All who know Demetrius testify that he is a good man" or "Every believer who knows Demetrius speaks well of him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

This is probably a man whom John wants Gaius and the congregation to welcome when he comes to visit. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-names]])
