3 John 1:8
“We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.”
What does 3 John 1:8 mean?
John is encouraging his readers to welcome and support traveling teachers and missionaries who are sharing the gospel faithfully. By opening your home and resources to them, you become a partner in spreading what is true and good, even if you're not doing the preaching yourself. This is a reminder that supporting someone else's important work, whether through hospitality, encouragement, or practical help, counts as meaningful service in God's kingdom. When you stand behind truth-tellers and gospel workers, you're not just helping them, you're joining a larger effort that matters eternally.
