he who was once worthless to you, but now useful to you and to me; whom I sent back to you.

But without your consent I was willing to do nothing, that your good should not be of necessity, but willingly.

not now as a slave, but beyond a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

But at once prepare lodging for me, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given to you.
