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

I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,

For, much joy, have I had, and encouragement, by occasion of thy love, in that, the tender affections of the saints, have had rest given them by thee, brother.

And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

I Paul give it under my own hand, I will repay it; not to say, that you owe your very self to me.

So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.
