3 John 1:5
Douay-Rheims
Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
faithfully--an act becoming a faithful man. whatsoever thou doest--a distinct Greek word from the former "doest": translate, "workest": whatsoever work, or labor of love, thou dost perform. So Mat 26:10, "She hath wrought a good work upon me." and to strangers--The oldest manuscripts, "and that (that is, and those brethren) strangers." The fact of the brethren whom thou didst entertain being "strangers," enhances the love manifested in the act.
