3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in the truth.
2 Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified of the truth that is in you, even as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than these things, to hear that my children walk in the truth.
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you work for the brothers and for strangers, 6 who in love bore witness of you before the church, whom you will do well to send forward worthily of God; 7 because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the nations. 8 Therefore we ought to entertain such, so that we might be co-workers in the truth.
