3 John 5-8
Wycliffe Bible
5 Most dear brother, thou doest faithfully, whatever thou workest in brethren [Most dear, thou doest faithfully, whatever thou workest into brethren], and that into pilgrims,
6 which yielded witnessing to thy charity, in the sight of the church; which thou leadest forth [whom thou leadest forth], and doest well-worthily to God.
7 For they went forth for his name, and took nothing of heathen men. [Soothly for his name they went forth, nothing taking of heathen men.]
8 Therefore we owe to receive such, that we be even-workers of truth.

3 John 5-8
New Matthew Bible
5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren, and for strangers, 6 who bear witness of your love before all the congregation. Which brethren, when you bring them forwards on their journey (as it befits God), you will do well, 7 because for his name’s sake they went forth, and took nothing from the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive such brethren, so that we also may be helpers of the truth.

Authorized (King James) Version
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 6 which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 7 because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
