[1:5] My dear friend, you are so faithful in the work you do for other Christians, even when they are strangers.
[1:6] They have spoken to the church here about your love. Please help them to continue their trip in a way that will please God.
[1:7] For they set out on their trip in the service of Christ without accepting any help from unbelievers.
[1:8] We Christians, then, must help these people, so that we may share in their work for the truth.
