3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 The elder unto the well beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
2 Beloved, I wish 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 of 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 truth.
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatsoever you do for the brethren, and for strangers; 6 Who have borne witness of your love before the church: whom if you send forward on their journey in a godly manner, you shall do well: 7 Because for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers to the truth.
