6 They have testified [to] your love before the church; you will do well to send them^[d] on their way in a manner worthy of God.

7 For they have gone out on behalf of the name, accepting nothing from the pagans.^[e]

8 Therefore we ought to support such [people], so that we become fellow workers with [the] truth.
