who was formerly unprofitable to thee, but now profitable both to thee and to me; whom I have sent back to thee:

But I would do nothing without thy knowledge, that thy kindness might not be as it were forced, but voluntary.

not now as a servant, but above a servant, a dear brother, especially to me, and how much more to thee both in the flesh and in the Lord.

But I must add, prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be restored to you.
