2. Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
3. For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
4. I have no greater joy than this, to hear about my children walking in truth.
5. Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
6. They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,

8. We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
