3 John 1:1-10

Listen to 3 John 1:1-10
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.
3 I was overjoyed when some of the friends [a] arrived and testified to your faithfulness to the truth, namely how you walk in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends, [b] even though they are strangers to you;
6 they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God;
7 for they began their journey for the sake of Christ, [c] accepting no support from non-believers. [d]
8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we may become co-workers with the truth.
9 I have written something to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority.
10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing in spreading false charges against us. And not content with those charges, he refuses to welcome the friends, [e] and even prevents those who want to do so and expels them from the church.
