Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
May You Prosper In All Things, Just As Your Soul Is Prospering Because You Walk In The Truth
2 Beloved, I pray[a] that with respect to all things you may prosper and be healthy, just as your soul is prospering. 3 For I rejoiced greatly while brothers were coming and testifying concerning your truth— how[b] you are walking in the truth. 4 I have no joy greater than these things: that I may be hearing-of my children walking in the truth.
Beloved, Support Fellow Workers For The Truth
5 Beloved, you are doing a faithful thing— whatever you may accomplish[c]— for the brothers (and this, for strangers!) 6 who testified concerning your love before the church, as to whom you will do well having sent-them-forward worthily of God. 7 For they went out for the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to be supporting such ones, in order that we may be[d] fellow-workers[e] for the truth.
