3 John 1:5 in context

The verses around it, from 3 John 1.

1 The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:

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.

4 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.

7 For they went out on behalf of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

8 Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

9 I have written to the church about this, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not accept our instruction.
