A Cup of Cold Water
40 “The one who welcomes you welcomes Me,(A) and the one who welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me.(B) 41 Anyone who[a] welcomes a prophet(C) because he is a prophet[b] will receive a prophet’s reward. And anyone who[c] welcomes a righteous person because he’s righteous[d] will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And whoever gives(D) just a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple[e](E)—I assure you: He will never lose his reward!”

5 Dear friend,[a] you are showing faithfulness[b] by whatever you do for the brothers, especially when they are strangers. 6 They have testified to your love in front of the church.(A) You will do well to send them on their journey(B) in a manner worthy of God,(C) 7 since they set out for the sake of the Name,(D) accepting nothing from pagans.(E) 8 Therefore, we ought to support such men so that we can be coworkers with[c] the truth.

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:
7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
