3 John 5-8
English Standard Version
Support and Opposition
5 Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for (A)these brothers, (B)strangers as they are, 6 who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner (C)worthy of God. 7 For they have gone out for the sake of (D)the name, (E)accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
