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

I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,

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.

But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
