The central theme of the letter is fellowship, and the speaker divides it into three parts: an introduction that lays the ground of fellowship, the condition or practice of fellowship, and the importance and value of fellowship.

He concludes by posing the question of what we seek when we come to conferences or meetings, urging listeners to examine their motives and seek the Lord Himself.
