3 John 1:2-8

2Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually].

3For I was greatly pleased when [some of the] brothers came [from time to time] and testified to your [faithfulness to the] truth [of the gospel message], that is, how you are walking in truth.

4I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my [spiritual] children are living [their lives] in the truth.

5Beloved, you are acting faithfully in what you are providing for the brothers, and especially when they are strangers;

6and they have testified before the church of your love and friendship. You will do well to [assist them and] send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

7For these [traveling missionaries] went out for the sake of the Name [of Christ], accepting nothing [in the way of assistance] from the Gentiles.

8So we ought to support such people [welcoming them as guests and providing for them], so that we may be fellow workers for the truth [that is, for the gospel message of salvation].
