3 John 5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 [a]Beloved, you have been faithful in everything you do for the brethren, especially to strangers. 6 They have testified before the Church to your love. Please continue to help them on their journey in a manner worthy of God. 7 For they began their journey for the sake of the Name,[b] and they have refused to accept any support from nonbelievers.
