3 John 1:1-8

1 From: The Elder To: Dear Gaius, whom I love in truth:

2 Dear friend, I am praying that everything prosper with you and that you be in good health, as I know you are prospering spiritually.

3 For I was so happy when some brothers came and testified how faithful you are to the truth, as you continue living in the truth.

4 Nothing gives me greater joy than hearing that my children are living in the truth.

5 Dear friend, you are faithful in all the work you are doing for the brothers, even when they are strangers to you.

6 They have testified to your love in front of the congregation. You will be doing well if you send them on their way in a manner worthy of God,

7 since it was for the sake of HaShem that they went out without accepting anything from the Goyim.

8 It is we, therefore, who should support such people; so that we may share in their work for the truth.
