Dear friend, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul. ¹ 

For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, just as you are living according to the truth. ¹ 

Dear friend, ¹  you demonstrate faithfulness ²  by whatever you do for the brothers (even though they are strangers).

Therefore we ¹  ought to support such people, so that we become coworkers in cooperation with the truth. ² 

They ¹  have testified to your love before the church. ²  You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. ³ 

Therefore, if I come, ¹  I will call attention to the deeds he is doing ²  – the bringing of unjustified charges against us with evil words! And not being content with that, he not only refuses to welcome the brothers himself, but hinders the people who want to do so and throws them out of the church!
