3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, I pray for thee to prosper concerning all things, and to be healthy, just as thy soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced exceedingly of brothers coming and testifing to the truth of thee, just as thou walk in truth. 4 I have no greater joy than these things that I hear my children walking in truth.
5 Beloved, thou do a faithful thing, whatever thou work for the brothers and for strangers, 6 who testified about thy love in sight of the congregation, whom thou will do well having helped send on their way worthily of God. 7 For they went forth on behalf of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to welcome such men, so that we might become fellow workmen for the truth.
