3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 elder to the beloved Gains, whom I love in the truth.
2 Beloved, I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came and testified to the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth.
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do to the brethren, and to strangers, 6 who have testified to your love before the church: if you conduct these on their journey, in a manner worthy of God, you will do well: 7 for, on account of his name, they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8 We, there fore, ought to receive such, that we may be fellow-helpers to the truth.
