2. Beloved, I hope you are prospering in every respect and are in good health, just as your soul is prospering.
3. I rejoiced greatly when some of the brothers came and testified to how truly you walk in the truth.
4. Nothing gives me greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
5. Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers, especially for strangers;
6. they have testified to your love before the church. Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey.
7. For they have set out for the sake of the Name and are accepting nothing from the pagans.
8. Therefore, we ought to support such persons, so that we may be co-workers in the truth.
