3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are living according to the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are living according to the truth.
5 Dear friend, you demonstrate faithfulness by 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 forth on behalf of “The Name,” accepting nothing from the pagans.
8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we become coworkers in cooperation with the truth.
9 I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not acknowledge us.
