Gaius Commended for His Hospitality

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul. For I was overjoyed when some brothers and sisters arrived and testified to your faithfulness to the truth, how you walk in the truth.(A) I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.(B)

Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you;(C) they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God,(D) for they began their journey for the sake of Christ,[a] accepting no support from nonbelievers.[b](E) Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we may become coworkers with the truth.
