3 John 1:4

2 Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.

3 For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

5 Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.

6 They have testified to the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.
