Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Beloved, Support Fellow Workers For The Truth
5 Beloved, you are doing a faithful thing— whatever you may accomplish[a]— for the brothers (and this, for strangers!) 6 who testified concerning your love before the church, as to whom you will do well having sent-them-forward worthily of God. 7 For they went out for the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to be supporting such ones, in order that we may be[b] fellow-workers[c] for the truth.

Please send them on their way(C) in a manner that honors(D) God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name(E) that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.(F) 8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.
