3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and witnessed of the truth in you, as you walk in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear of my children walking in truth.
5 Beloved ones, you are acting trustworthily in whatever you do for the brothers and for strangers,
6 who have borne witness of your love before the assembly. If you send them forward worthily of Elohim, you shall do well,
7 because they went out for the sake of the Name, receiving naught from the gentiles.
8 Therefore we ought to receive such, so that we become fellow workers for the truth.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be the first among them, does not receive us.
