3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 The Elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth!
2 beloved, concerning all things I desire thee to prosper, and to be in health, even as thy soul doth prosper, 3 for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk; 4 greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of my children in truth walking.
5 Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers, 6 who did testify of thy love before an assembly, whom thou wilt do well, having sent forward worthily of God, 7 because for His name they went forth, nothing receiving from the nations; 8 we, then, ought to receive such, that fellow-workers we may become to the truth.
