3 For I rejoiced exceedingly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are walking in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than this: that I hear my children are walking in the truth.
5 Dear friend, you act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, even though they are strangers.
6 They have testified to your love before the church; you will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
7 For they have gone out on behalf of the name, accepting nothing from the pagans.
8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we become fellow workers with the truth.
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who wants to be first among them, does not acknowledge us.
