3. I was overjoyed when the brothers and sisters arrived and spoke highly of your faithfulness to the truth, shown by how you live according to the truth.

5. Dear friend, you act faithfully in whatever you do for our brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers.
6. They spoke highly of your love in front of the church. You all would do well to provide for their journey in a way that honors God,
