May grace be granted to you all, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Only I wished to do nothing without your consent, so that his kind action of yours might not be done under pressure, but might be a voluntary one.

I Paul write this with my own hand--I will pay you in full. (I say nothing of the fact that you owe me even your own self.)

And at the same time provide accommodation for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be permitted to come to you.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with the spirit of every one of you.
