3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 The presbyter, to the beloved Gaius whom I love in the Truth.
2 Beloved, I pray you may prosper in every way and keep well ??as indeed your soul is keeping well. 3 For I was overjoyed when some brothers arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do lead the true Life; 4 I have no greater joy than to hear of my children living in the Truth.
5 Beloved, you are acting loyally in rendering any service to the brothers and especially to strangers; 6 they have testified to your love before the church. Pray speed them on their journey worthily of God; 7 they have started out for his sake and declined to take anything from pagans; 8 hence we are bound to support such men, to prove ourselves allies of the Truth.
