3 Juan 1:7

7 pues viajan en servicio al Señor
y no aceptan nada de los que no son creyentes.

3 Juan 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

3 John 1:7

Because that for his name's sake they went forth
From Judea; either of their own accord to preach the Gospel, or being drove out by the unbelieving Jews, for professing the name of Christ; and be it which it will, there was good reason why they should be regarded, and especially since they did as follows,

taking nothing of the Gentiles;
even of those who were converted, though their preaching the Gospel, to whom they ministered, for of others, the unconverted Gentiles, they could not expect to receive; and this they did, as the apostles before them, because they would not be chargeable to them, and lest it should be thought they sought their own worldly interest, and not the good of souls and glory of Christ, and so a stumblingblock be laid in the way of the Gospel, to hinder the progress of it. The Ethiopic version reads this in the singular number, "and I went forth for his name's sake, taking nothing of the Gentiles".

3 Juan 1:7 In-Context

5 Cuidar de los obreros del Señor
Querido amigo, le eres fiel a Dios cada vez que te pones al servicio de los maestros itinerantes que pasan por ahí aunque no los conozcas.

6 Ellos le han contado a la iglesia de aquí de tu cariñosa amistad. Te pido que sigas supliendo las necesidades de esos maestros tal como le agrada a Dios;

7 pues viajan en servicio al Señor
y no aceptan nada de los que no son creyentes.

8 Por lo tanto, somos nosotros los que debemos apoyarlos y así ser sus colaboradores cuando enseñan la verdad.

9 Le escribí a la iglesia acerca de esto, pero Diótrefes —a quien le encanta ser el líder— no quiere tener nada que ver con nosotros.
