3 John 5-8

Expanded Bible

⁵ ·My dear friend [^LBeloved], ·it is good that [you are living out your faith when] you help the brothers and sisters, even those ·you do not know [^Lwho are strangers]. ⁶ They ·told [testified before] the church about your love. ·Please help them [You will do well] to continue their trip [^Cas missionaries] in a way worthy of God. ⁷ [^LFor] They ·started out in service to Christ [^Ldeparted for the sake of the name], and they have been accepting ·nothing [no support] from nonbelievers [^LGentiles; pagans]. ⁸ So we should ·help [show hospitality to; support] such people; when we do, we ·share in their work [become coworkers] for the truth.
