3For I was overjoyed when the brothers came and testified about your devotion to the truth, in which you continue to walk.
Focused Passage
3 John 1:3
Walking in the Truth Through Faithful Hospitality
John moves from affectionate blessing, to commendation of truth-shaped hospitality, to warning against prideful obstruction, to commendation of a faithful example, and finally to personal fellowship.
