3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 THE elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, I desire above all things that you may prosper and be in health, as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brothers came and testified of your truth, as you walk in truth. 4 I have no greater joy than this, that I hear of my children walking in the truth.
5 Beloved, you did faithfully whatever you do to the brothers, and that to strangers, 6 who testified of your love before the church, whom you will do well to send forward worthily of God. 7 For they went out for his name, taking nothing of the gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be co-laborers for the truth.
