3 John 1:2-8

2BelovedG27, I prayG2172 that in allG3956 respectsG3956 you may prosperG2137 and be in goodG5198 healthG5198, justG2531 as your soulG5590 prospersG2137. 3For I 1was veryG3029 gladG5463 when 2brethrenG80 cameG2064 and testifiedG3140 to your truthG225, that is, howG2531 you 3are walkingG4043 in truthG225. 4I haveG2192 noG3756 greaterG3173 joyG5479 than 4thisG3778, to hearG191 of 5my childrenG5043 6walkingG4043 in the truthG225.

5BelovedG27, you are actingG4160 faithfullyG4103 in whateverG3739 G1437 you accomplishG2038 for the 7brethrenG80, and 8especiallyG3778 when they are 9strangersG3581; 6and they have testifiedG3140 to your loveG26 beforeG1799 the churchG1577. You will doG4160 wellG2573 to 10sendG4311 them on their wayG4311 in a mannerG516 11worthyG516 of GodG2316. 7For they wentG1831 out for the sakeG5228 of 12the NameG3686, 13acceptingG2983 nothingG3367 from the GentilesG1482. 8ThereforeG3767 we oughtG3784 to 14supportG5274 suchG5108 menG5108, soG2443 that we may 15be fellowG4904 workersG4904 16with the truthG225.
