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

and 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.

Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
