3 John 1:5-8

Instructions to Gaius

5 Dear friend, you act faithfully^[a] [in] whatever you do for the brothers, {even though they are strangers}^[b].

6 They have testified [to] your love before the church; you will do well to send them^[c] 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.^[d]

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