3 John 5-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you;(A) 6 they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God,(B) 7 for they began their journey for the sake of Christ,[a] accepting no support from nonbelievers.[b](C) 8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we may become coworkers 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.
