3 John 1:2-9
-
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
-
3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
-
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
-
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.
