Well-known verses in 3 John
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
