who in time past hath been an unprofitable servant to thee, but now very profitable to thee and to me:

but without thy consent would I do nothing; that this good deed of thine might not be as of necessity, but from thy own choice.

no longer as a slave, but above a slave, as a brother beloved, especially by me, but how much more by thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

But at the same time prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
