On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Those who know it not cannot be expected to value it; churches and Christian patriots ought to concur to support the propagation of holy religion in the pagan countries; public spirits should concur according to their several capacities; those who are freely communicative of Christ's gospel should be assisted by those who are communicative of their purses.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

testified of the truth that is in thee--Greek, "of" (or 'to') thy truth": thy share of that truth in which thou walkest [ALFORD]. even as thou--in contrast to Diotrephes (3Jo 9).
