3 John 1:1-8 - Encouragement For Gaius
1 From: The Elder To: My dear friend Gaius, whom I genuinely love.
2 Dear friend, I pray that you are doing well in every way and that you are healthy, just as your soul is healthy. 3 I was overjoyed when some brothers arrived and testified about your truthfulness and how you live according to the truth 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are living according to the truth.
5 Dear friend, you are faithful in whatever you do for the brothers, especially when they are strangers. 6 They have testified before the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. 7 After all, they went on their trip for the sake of the Name, accepting no support from gentiles. 8 Therefore, we ought to support such people so that we can become genuine helpers with them.
