3 John 1:5-8 - Gaius Commended

5 Dear friend, whatever you do for our Brothers is done in a Christian spirit--even when they are strangers to you. 6 They themselves have testified before the Church to your love; and you will do well to help them on their way in a manner worthy of the service of God. 7 For it was on behalf of the Name that they left their homes, and refused to take anything from the Gentiles. 8 We, therefore, ought to give such people a hearty welcome, and so take our share in their work for the Truth.
