3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love. That righteous man that dwelled among them was tormented by the lawless deeds he saw and heard.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health. May you prosper. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and witnessed about the truth that is in you and that you walk in truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in the truth.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you do for the brothers and strangers. 6 They testify about your love seen by the congregation. You do well to send them forward on their journey worthily of God. 7 For the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the people of the nations. 8 We ought to receive and welcome such ones, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
