Yes it is. And worded in a very specific manner. Now you've already accepted that there are different standards of prosperity. OK, let's go with two standards in this case. Nice and easy. One. Two.

One form of prosperity is material. Not materialistic, just common old garden variety material. Something to eat so you don't starve. A warm bed. A nice fire or somewhere for a swim in summer.

Worms don't have this problem, they just eat dirt and there's an abundance of dirt. Worms don't need to keep a bit of spare dirt somewhere just-in-case or have sufficient funds available to by some dirt if visitors turn up unexpectedly.

But we are not worms. Food can run out, beds can disintegrate, fires can go out and swimming pools can crack open. When that happens, barter conventions are used to provide more food or beds or whatever = tokens in some cases or gold or a running inventory or fiat currencies. There are all sorts of ways to prosper and not starve or freeze. The usual method is money in the bank. This is material prosperity.

Another type of prosperity would be prosperity of the soul. That means a good relationship with Jesus Christ who is God. Then He won't dump us into hell. The wording in John's epistle addresses BOTH of these. NOT JUST ONE. BOTH.

III John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health
THIS IS THE FIRST TYPE OF PROSPERITY. MATERIAL PROSPERITY.
THE KEYWORD IS HEALTH, WHICH DERIVES FROM ADEQUATE FOOD,
SHELTER, WARMTH AND RECREATION.
even as thy soul prospereth.
THIS IS THE OTHER TYPE OF PROSPERITY. PROSPERITY OF THE SOUL,
WHICH DERIVES FROM WALKING IN THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH MEANS
WHATEVER AGREES WITH THE BIBLE.
III John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

The blue word shows cause and effect from verse 2.
