3 John 1:2-8

2Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. 3For I 1was very glad when 2brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you 3are walking in truth. 4I have no greater joy than 4this, to hear of 5my children 6walking in the truth.

5Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the 7brethren, and 8especially when they are 9strangers; 6and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to 10send them on their way in a manner 11worthy of God. 7For they went out for the sake of 12the Name, 13accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8Therefore we ought to 14support such men, so that we may 15be fellow workers 16with the truth.
