- work for the brothers and for strangers - "help fellow believers and those you do not know"
- who have borne witness of your love before the church - This could be translated as a new sentence: "They have told the believers in the church about how you have loved them."
- You will do well to send them forward on their journey worthy of God - "Please, send them on their journey in a way that honors God"
