3 John 1:1-8 ▼

1 From the elder, to Gaius my dear brother, whom I love in truth.

2 Dear friend, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.

3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are living according to the truth.

4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are living according to the truth.

5 Dear friend, you demonstrate faithfulness by whatever you do for the brothers (even though they are strangers).

6 They have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

7 For they have gone forth on behalf of |The Name,| accepting nothing from the pagans.

8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we become coworkers in cooperation with the truth.
