3 For I was overjoyed when some brethren came and testified of the truth in you—how you are walking in truth.
4 I have no greater joy than this—to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5 Loved ones, you are acting faithfully in whatever you do for the brethren and especially for strangers.
6 They have testified to your love before Messiah’s community. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
7 For on behalf of the Name they went out, accepting nothing from the pagans.
8 Therefore we ought to support such people, so we might become co-workers in the truth.
9 I wrote something to Messiah’s community, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t welcome us.
