3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, I pray that, in all things, you may be prosperous, and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced exceedingly, when brethren came and testified to your truth, even as you walk in truth. 4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work, in whatsoever you do to the brethren, and that to strangers, 6 who testified to your love before the assembly; whom sending forward worthily of God, you will do well; 7 for on behalf of His name they went forth, taking nothing from the gentiles. 8 We ought, therefore, to welcome such persons, that we may become fellow-workers for the truth.
