3 John 1:5-8 - Gaius Commended

⁵ Dear [friend], you are accomplishing a faithful work whenever you do something for the brothers [traveling in the Lord's work], especially when they are strangers [to you]. ⁶ These people testify about your love [for them] before the [assembled] church. You will be doing a good thing to send them on their journey in a way that is pleasing to God [i.e., by furnishing them with travel expenses for their ministry]. ⁷ For they went out, [ministering] for the sake of [Jesus'] name, without taking [any money] from Gentiles [i.e., non-Christians]. ⁸ Therefore, we should show hospitality to such men, so that we can be fellow-workers [with them] in [the cause of] the truth.
