Travelers

Welcome everyone who comes in the name of the Lord; then test him and you will find out what he is, for you will have understanding, right and left. If the one who comes is only passing through, help him as much as you can; but he is not to stay with you more than two or three days, and then only if there is need. If he wants to settle among you and he has a trade, let him work and eat. If he has no trade, use your own judgment to see to it that no Christian lives among you idle. If he refuses to do this, he is peddling Christ. Watch out for people like that. [a]
