3 John 5-8
Legacy Standard Bible

5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever [a]work you do for the (A)brothers, and are doing this though they are (B)strangers; 6 and they bore witness to your love before the church. You will do well to (C)send them on their way in a manner (D)worthy of God. 7 For they went out for the sake of (E)the Name, (F)receiving nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to [b]support such men, so that we may [c]be fellow workers [d]with the truth.

Caring for the Lord’s Workers

5 Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for the traveling teachers who pass through, even though they are strangers to you. 6 They have told the church here of your loving friendship. Please continue providing for such teachers in a manner that pleases God. 7 For they are traveling for the Lord,[a] and they accept nothing from people who are not believers.[b] 8 So we ourselves should support them so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth.
