once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:

whom I have sent back to thee: but do thou receive him, that is, my bowels:

but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:

not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord?

but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything to thee, put this to my account.

But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.
