3 John 5-10
New International Version
5 Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters,[a](A) even though they are strangers to you.(B) 6 They have told the church about your love. Please send them on their way(C) in a manner that honors(D) God. 7 It was for the sake of the Name(E) that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans.(F) 8 We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. 10 So when I come,(G) I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers.(H) He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.(I)
Footnotes
- 3 John 1:5 The Greek word for brothers and sisters (adelphoi) refers here to believers, both men and women, as part of God’s family.
3 John 5-10
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.
9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

Philippians 4:14-19
New International Version
14 Yet it was good of you to share(A) in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days(B) of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia,(C) not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only;(D) 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica,(E) you sent me aid more than once when I was in need.(F) 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account.(G) 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus(H) the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant(I) offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs(J) according to the riches of his glory(K) in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:14-19
King James Version
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
