Rewards
40 “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(A) 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous, 42 and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple—truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.”(B)

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.
Diotrephes and Demetrius
9 I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not welcome us. 10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing in spreading false charges against us. And not content with those charges, he refuses to welcome the brothers and sisters and even prevents those who want to do so and expels them from the church.(D)

Philippians 4:14-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 In any case, it was kind of you to share my distress.
15 You Philippians indeed know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.(A) 16 For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the profit[a] that accumulates to your account.(B) 18 I have been paid in full and have more than enough; I am fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.(C) 19 And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.(D)
