II. Being Coworkers with the Truth (5-8)
5-8 In 2 John 10-11, we see that the church must not support or give an audience to those who reject the truth about Jesus Christ. Instead, we should support those who set out for the sake of the Name of Jesus (vv. 7-8)—in other words, those who are doing the work of God as evangelists, teachers, church planters, and missionaries. By providing them with financial support, hospitality, encouragement, and prayer, we can be coworkers with the truth (v. 8). That’s what Gaius did. He demonstrated love for the brothers and sisters who were engaging in ministry, even those who were strangers to him (vv. 5-6). When we support those who are faithful to the truth, God credits to our account the blessings that he gives to them because we are their coworkers, sharing in their ministry.
