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.

If he has wronged you or owes you in anything, put that on my account.

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