God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

I never mention you in my prayers without thanking my God

and I pray that through coming to know every good thing about us as Christians they may effectually share your faith.

I have been greatly pleased and encouraged over your love, for the hearts of God's people have been cheered, my brother, by you.

I would have liked to keep him with me, to wait on me in your place while I am in prison for the good news,

And get ready to entertain me too, for I hope that I shall be restored to you, in answer to your prayers.
