3 John 1:1-6

You Walk in the Truth

1 1The elder to the beloved 2Gaius, whom I 3love in truth.
2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.
3 For I 4was very glad when 5brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you 6are walking in truth.
4 I have no greater joy than [a]this, to hear of 7my children 8walking in the truth.
5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever * you accomplish for the 9brethren, and [b]especially when they are 10strangers;
6 and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to 11send them on their way in a manner 12worthy of God.
