3 John 2-8

Common English Bible

² Dear friend, I’m praying that all is well with you and that you enjoy good health in the same way that you prosper spiritually.

Encouragement for Gaius

³ I was overjoyed when the brothers and sisters arrived and spoke highly of your faithfulness to the truth, shown by how you live according to the truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are living according to the truth. ⁵ Dear friend, you act faithfully in whatever you do for our brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers. ⁶ They spoke highly of your love in front of the church. You all would do well to provide for their journey in a way that honors God, ⁷ because they left on their journey for the sake of Jesus Christ without accepting any support from the Gentiles. ⁸ Therefore, we ought to help people like this so that we can be coworkers with the truth.
