5 Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.
Focused Passage
3 John 1:5
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.
