The F.O.G Message


Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers,

Young's Literal Translation


3 John 1:5 Notes

(1*) These brothers were travelling teachers or itinerant preachers who were shown hospitality by Gaius. The litmus test for accepting them as true brothers was their testimony about Jesus as the Christ, translated as the Anointed One or Messiah. He was crucified, resurrected, and gave His Holy Spirit, the One who has rebirthed our spirits. This is our hope of glory, as the Apostle Paul stated.
