3 John 1:5-6
King James Version (KJV)
5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
6 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
3 John 1:5-6
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; 6 and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
5 Again John calls them his love. Love is something we as believers need to keep showing even at the worst times for us. We should even love those who hate us. We should show our faith in all we do and sometimes it is doing the things we think are small that will have the biggest effect. We show faith in the big things we should be able to show faith in the minor things as well. Having our faith shown before those we do not truly shows we follow Him. By showing faith our witness can lead people to the Lord.
6 If we serve Christ word will get around about us even if we are doing as we are suppose to and not boast in ourselves people will boast in God by how He uses us. We should live a life that encourages others to follow after Christ. We should allow all we do be a form of worship to God and treat strangers as Jesus would treat them, take care of any physical need and then teach them about the need for Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
