Let everyone who comes in the name of the Lord be welcomed, and then after testing him, you will know him. For you will have discernment, both right and left.
If someone is passing through and needs help, do what you can to assist them. They won't stay with you for more than two or three days if necessary. But if he wishes to remain with you, being a craftsman, let him work and eat. If, however, he does not have a trade, provide for him according to your understanding, so that he may not live among you as a Christian in idleness. But if he is not willing to do so, he is a Christ-seller; beware of such.
